Calculates primary and secondary settlement of mine tailings using Terzaghi theory.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized geotechnical tools to model the settlement behavior of mine tailings. It implements Terzaghi's consolidation theory to calculate primary consolidation magnitude and progress, and accounts for secondary compression (creep) caused by particle rearrangement. Engineers can use get_primary_settlement to determine initial settlement, get_secondary_compression for long-term creep, get_consolidation_rate to predict settlement velocity, and get_settlement_timeline to generate a complete settlement history over time.

get_primary_settlement

Calculates the total magnitude and progress of primary consolidation at a specific point in time

get_secondary_compression

Calculates the settlement caused by particle rearrangement (creep) after primary consolidation is finished

get_settlement_timeline

Provides a high-level summary of the total settlement over a series of time intervals

get_consolidation_rate

Determines the velocity of settlement at a specific time

Calculate the primary settlement for a tailings layer with specific properties after 100 days.

The primary consolidation magnitude is 0.45 meters with a degree of consolidation of 85%.

What is the total settlement including secondary compression after the primary phase is done?

The total cumulative settlement is 0.52 meters, consisting of 0.45 meters from primary consolidation and 0.07 meters from secondary compression.

Generate a settlement timeline for the next 500 days.

The settlement timeline shows a rapid primary phase reaching 0.45m by day 150, followed by a slow secondary creep phase reaching 0.52m by day 500.

The model uses the `get_secondary_compression` tool to calculate settlement caused by particle rearrangement (creep) that occurs after the primary consolidation phase is complete.
