Analysis of PV Drains for Mitigation of Seismically Induced Ground Deformations in Sand Slopes

Prefabricated vertical (PV) drain arrays have been proposed as a minimally intrusive technique for mitigating seismically induced ground deformations in sandy liquefiable slopes. This paper describes the representation of individual PV drains as line elements within a finite-element program. The ele...
