TCON 1.1

For the calculation of consolidation settlements and rates of settlement. The Java based program comes with a user-friendly graphical interface to easily define a wide variety of areal and finite loads, fills and soil profiles. A powerful and flexible program for the calculation of the rate of consolidation of mine and mill tailings and dredge spoils under their own weight and/or surcharge loadings.
Major compenents of this software include:
- A central finite difference solution with two iterations on properties at each point in time and automatic updating of layer thicknesses.
- Use of stress-dependent compressibilities and permeabilities.
- Specification of multiple layers with different properties.
- Arbitrary variations in the rate of filling.
- Large and nonuniform strains allowable.
