Consolidation and settlement analysis is one of the main tasks of a geotechnical engineer.rnThere are different methods of analyzing consolidation and settlement. In this study, softwarernfor the analysis of consolidation and settlement is developed. rnThe developed software analyzes one dimensional consolidation for saturated and unsaturatedrnsoils. Consolidation analysis for saturated soils is done by the Fourier series solution and byrnfinite difference solution of Terzaghiâ€™s one dimensional consolidation equation for saturatedrnsoils. Consolidation analysis for unsaturated soils is done by finite difference method. Thernanalysis is done for different loadings, scenarios, drainage conditions and soil conditions. rnThe software analyzes immediate settlement, primary settlement and secondary settlement.rnPrimary settlement calculation is done by compression index method, average modulus ofrncompressibility method and coefficient of volume compressibility method. Secondaryrnsettlement calculation is done by constant modulus of compressibility method and variablernmodulus of compressibility method. The analysis is done for different loadings, foundationrntypes, and locations of the foundation, drainage conditions and soil conditions. rnThe result of consolidation analysis by Fourier series method and finite difference methodrngive approximately similar result. For the consolidation analysis by finite difference method,rnthe stability of the calculation is very sensitive to the beta value. The result may not bernreliable for inappropriate beta values. The developed software can be used to analyzernconsolidation and settlement simply, quickly and accurately. Comparison of results obtained rnfrom different analysis methods of consolidation and settlement can be also made with thernsoftware. The developed software is also important to study the properties of the results forrndifferent values of input parameters.
