v7.30.100 WTNL100 - Consolidation of a saturated poro-elastic soil column (Terzaghi)

Summary:

This test case focuses on the consolidation of a saturated poro-elastic soil column, impermeable laterally and at the base, subjected to a force step at the top. The objective is to test the movements (soil compaction), the pressures and to compare all the results with an analytical solution, the main lines of which are presented.
