Modelling smear effect of vertical drains using a diameter reduction method

Vertical drains are used to accelerate consolidation of clays in ground improvement projects. Smear zones exist around these drains, where permeability is reduced due to soil disturbance caused by the installation process. Hansbo solution is widely used in practice to consider the effects of drain d...
