Predicting the long-term performance of a geogrid-reinforced embankment on soft soil using two-dimensional finite element analysis

The consolidation of the soft foundation soil of a geogrid-reinforced embankment, improved with prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs), is modelled in this paper using two-dimensional (2D) plane strain coupled finite element (FE) analysis to predict long-term multiple behaviour characteristics (e.g.,...
