In this lesson, the high settlement behavior of soft clay is analyzed using PLAXIS 3D. The focus is on understanding the significant settlement issues that arise when constructing on soft clay soils. The consolidation settlement process is modeled to predict the extent and timing of settlement. The lesson serves as a critical foundation for the subsequent session, where preloading methods will be introduced in Lesson 58 to mitigate these settlement challenges effectively.
