MSettle result
In the Calculation Options window, the Preconsolidation pressure within a layer is
adapted for each benchmark according to Table 22-13. The settlements calculated by
MSettle are exported to the spreadsheet using the View Data option in Time-History
window for comparison (see Figure 22-11). The final settlements and initial preconsolidation are respectively given in Table 22-14 and Table 22-15.
