Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems
English term or phrase: settlement
Contexto:

The subgrade at the proposed process plant site (west) is considered to offer reasonable stiffness but high **settlements** can be expected, a function of the magnitude of applied loading. The estimated **settlements** for structures within the processing plant are higher than the stated allowable **settlements**. Due to the high groundwater and saturated and low permeability soils, **settlement** is expected to take many years to complete. The impact this may have on long term maintenance will need to be considered.

Mariana; pelo texto me parece que o termo mais correto seria "consolidação", em virtude de que existe uma carga aplicada sobre a área.
