Description	FSConsol is a one dimensional consolidation program based on the Finite Strain Consolidation Theory. Finite Strain Consolidation describes consolidation problems which involve large strains (as opposed to classical infinitesimal strains) and nonlinear soil properties. It can model a variety of consolidation problems ranging from a step loaded laboratory consolidation test to a mine tailings pond scenario with varying filling rates, changing pond areas and changing soil properties. In addition to settlement, it tracks the density, void ratio, excess pore pressure, and dissipation profiles with time.
