Effectiveness of PV Drains for Mitigating Earthquake-Induced Deformations in Sandy Slopes

This paper considers the effectiveness of a Pre-fabricated Vertical (PV) drain array for mitigating the earthquake-induced permanent ground deformations of a water-fronting loose sand fill based on results of numerical simulations. The numerical simulations are performed using the OpenSees finite el...
