Numerical and Experimental Investigations of the Effect of PVD and Vacuum Pressure on the Degree of Saturation
Soft clays are generally characterized by low shear strength, low permeability and high compressibility. An effective method to accelerate consolidation of such soils is to use vertical drains along with vacuum preloading to encourage radial flow of water. In this research numerical modeling of pre...
