should be chosen equal to the initial position of the horizontal drains, in this
case at RL <-2.2> m as shown in Figure 4-35.

48. Perform a new calculation in the Start Calculation window.
49. Verify that the residual settlement after 900 days is 0.140 m for vertical 4.
50. View the excess head versus time at vertical 4, RL-4.875 m (Figure 4-36). Note
that the excess head is reduced considerably during enforced dewatering.

51. View also the effective stress versus time at vertical 4, RL-4.875 m (Figure 4-37).
Before 438 days, the effective stress increases continuously, due to still
