What is Properties of Isochrones in Hydrology about?

Isochrones represent lines of equal pore water pressure in soils. They are steepest at the drainage surface where the hydraulic gradient is zero. At an impermeable base, the isochrones are perpendicular because the seepage velocity is zero. The change in thickness between two isochrones over time is equal to the negative product of the coefficient of consolidation, velocity, and shaded area between the isochrones. The total settlement at the surface is calculated as the coefficient of consolidation times th
