NC clay, all parameters given, single-case settlement
Consolidation Settlement
Estimates primary consolidation settlement of clay layers under applied loading using Terzaghi's one-dimensional theory. Handles normally consolidated, overconsolidated, and transitional cases via the compression index (Cc) and recompression index (Cr) on the e-log-p curve, with settlement governed by Sc = CcH/(1+e0) * log10(sigma_vf/sigma_v0) and its variants.
