An implementation of [R4].
Features:
- Single layer, soil properties constant over time.
- Instant load uniform with depth.
- Vertical flow.
- Similar to Terzaghi 1d consolidation equation but with additional fractional time derivative that retards pore pressure dissipation as a possible creep mechanism.
- Uses Laplace transform in solution.
Parameters: z : float or 1d array/list of float
Depth.
t : float or 1d array/list of float
Time.
theta : float or array/list of float
Parameter in [R4].
v : float or array/list of float
Parameter in [R4].
tpor : float or 1d array/list of float
Time values for pore pressure vs depth calcs.
L : float, optional
Drainage path length. Default H = 1.
kv : float, optional
Vertical coefficient of permeability. Default kv = 1.
mv : float, optional
Volume compressibility. Default mv = 0.1.
gamw : float, optional
Unit weight of water. defaule gamw = 10.
ui : float, optional
Initial uniform pore water pressure. Default ui = 1.
nterms : int, optional
Maximum number of series terms. Default nterms= 100.
Returns: por : 2d array of float
Pore pressure at depth and time. ppress is an array of size (len(z), len(t)).
avp : 1d array of float
Average pore pressure between depth H and depth Z.
settlement : 1d array of float
Surface settlement at depth z.
Notes
The article [R4] only has single values of theta and v. Here I’ve simply added more.
