The movement of the water in such a stratum is largely in the vertical direction, a process termed one-dimensional consolidation.

OBS

Le cas le plus simple consiste à admettre que le sol est constitué d'une couche horizontale dont l'épaisseur constante est très inférieure à la dimension transversale de la zone soumise à la consolidation. (...) Le mouvement de l'eau dans un tel système s'effectue principalement dans le sens vertical et correspond au phénomène de «consolidation unidimensionnelle».
