Settlement Calculator Skill
Purpose
The Settlement Calculator Skill calculates foundation settlements including immediate (elastic) settlement, primary consolidation, and secondary compression using established geotechnical methods.
Capabilities
- Immediate (elastic) settlement
- Consolidation settlement (1D theory)
- Secondary compression
- Time-rate of consolidation
- Differential settlement analysis
- Tolerable settlement checks
- Settlement beneath rigid foundations
- Stress distribution calculations
Usage Guidelines
When to Use
- Estimating foundation settlement
- Evaluating differential settlement
- Time-rate predictions
- Tolerable settlement verification
Prerequisites
- Soil compressibility data available
- Foundation loads defined
- Groundwater conditions known
- Soil stratigraphy established
Best Practices
- Use appropriate stress distribution
- Consider soil variability
- Account for adjacent structures
- Verify with field monitoring
Process Integration
This skill integrates with:
- Foundation Design
- Geotechnical Site Investigation
