Settlement Analysis of a Confined Sand Aquifer Overlain by a Clay Layer due to Single Well Pumping

This paper proposes a simplified analytical solution to determine the primary consolidation settlement of a confined sand aquifer overlain by a clay layer due to single well dewatering. After single well pumping in a steady state, the Dupuit equation predicts the confined sand aquifer water head dra...
