Analysis Guide
Consolidation Analysis
Consolidation Analysis is an analysis method calculating the process that excess pore water pressure disperses depending on time in case that water resist to
external force. Because water which cannot escape due to undrained condition and resisting to load will escape slowly as time goes by through drain condition
boundary, excess pore pressure decreases over time, and internal force shared by water is transferred to be resisted by soil to raise soil deformation, also
increase the soil effective stress. The method of performing consolidation analysis can be divided into 1 one-dimensional consolidation according to theoretical
function and finite element method.
In case of one-dimensional consolidation, there is an advantage by which result can be easily obtained with simple procedure. But it is limited to two-
dimensional analysis and can not be used in general composite shape of ground analysis.
For finite element method, the limitation for shape mentioned previously or general analysis is not so much but a weakness is exist that time spent on modeling
and analysis is much. Soilworks supports both one-dimensional consolidation analysis and finite element consolidation analysis. y pp y y
In consolidation analysis, elements will get DOF of pore water pressure additionally with displacement DOF at nodes.
Consolidation analysis in SoliWorks will assume all elements get DOF of pore water pressure if two kinds of boundaries, non-consolidation condition and drain
condition are not assigned So the element like banking material with no directional consolidation behavior defines non consolidation condition to act like condition are not assigned. So the element like banking material with no directional consolidation behavior, defines non-consolidation condition to act like
general structure element as shown below. In case of boundary happened drain in consolidation element, the drain condition must be defined. When the
boundary condition defined normally and consolidation analysis has been performed, the excess pore pressure applied non-consolidation condition and drain
condition should be 0.
