Analytical Solutions for the Radial Consolidation of Unsaturated Foundation with Prefabricated Vertical Drain Based on Fourier Series Expansion Theory

This paper presents the analytical solution of the radial consolidation of a prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) foundation under the unsaturated condition. In the proposed modeling, air and water phases in the foundation are thought to dissipate horizontally toward to the drain, and the smear effect...
