QouFEM allows the integration of the finite element method and hazard compuatations with uncertainty quantification tools. Although the tool was originally developed for finite element applications, it can also be utilized with other solution methods. In this project, the settlement calculations are implemented in a simple Python script that propagates settlement evaluations through sublayers to determine the ultimate surface settlement.
