9. Undrained Shear Strength Data:  Relating the undrained shear strength of a consolidating layer to its effective overburden pressure and its loading history, the user can specify two experimentally defined parameters (see Ladd 1991) to calculate the strength at any time after loading starts.  This data is also applicable to staged construction.  The undrained shear strength is calculated with depth and at various time increments.
