The performance of four sections of a full-scale embankment constructed on soft soil is
examined using a fully coupled and fully three-dimensional finite element analysis. The four …

A method has been developed for the consolidation analysis of dredged mud or clayey soil
deposits containing strip-type, prefabricated horizontal drains (PHDs), based on either the …

This paper presents the performance of improved soft Bangkok clay with prefabricated
vertical drains (PVDs) combined with embankment preloading (conventional PVD method) …

The use of prefabricated horizontal drains (PHDs) with combined surcharge and vacuum
preloading is an effective improvement approach for dredged clayey slurries. However …

Much of the world's essential infrastructure is built along congested coastal belts that are
composed of weak and highly compressible soils to significant depths. Soft alluvial and …

Prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) with the surcharge preloading and vacuum
consolidation has become considerably popular for ground improvement projects. A simple …

This paper presents the field measurements and analysis of a preloading project with the
installation of prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) in Wenzhou, China. At the site, PVDs …
