Groundwater Overview

Groundwater modelling in Settle3 allows you to model:

• Piezometric line(s)
• Water grid(s)
• Pore water pressure profile(s)
• Horizontal and vertical drainage conditions
• Hydroconsolidation regions

Interlayer Drainage

In the Soil Layers dialog, you can define horizontal drainage conditions at the interface between layers. See the Soil Layers topic for details.

Wick Drains

Wick (band) drain regions can be defined to accelerate consolidation, see the Add Wick Drain Region topic for details.

Hydroconsolidation

Hydroconsolidation regions can be defined to model collapsible soil regions, see the Add Hydroconsolidation Region topic for details.
