Probabilistic analysis of consolidation with prefabricated vertical drains for soil improvement

, 1998
Prefabricated vertical drains are often used to accelerate the consolidation and to gain strength in soft clayey soils. The consolidation process depends on several uncertain parameters including the coefficients of consolidation and coefficients of ...

Modelling smear effect of vertical drains using a diameter reduction method

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
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.

Ground settlement prediction of embankment treated with prefabricated vertical drains in soft soil

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Excessive settlement due to consolidation can cause damage to the structure’s rest on soft soil. The settlement takes place in relatively longer. The preloading and prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) is often applied to accelerate the primary settlement.

Sustainable Synaptic Device with Two‐Dimensional Ferroelectric Materials for Neuromorphic Computing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
α‐In2Se3 based FeSFETs can be utilized as sustainable devices through polarization switching governed by both out‐of‐plane and in‐plane polarizations. Upon reaching a fatigued state, current annealing enabled by conductance modulation can significantly enhance the endurance of FeSFETs.

Buried Unstrained Germanium Channels: A Lattice‐Matched Platform for Quantum Technology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strained germanium (ε$\varepsilon$‐Ge) and strained silicon (ε$\varepsilon$‐Si) buried quantum wells have enabled advanced spin‐qubit quantum processors. However, in the absence of suitable lattice‐matched substrates, ε$\varepsilon$‐Ge and ε$\varepsilon$‐Si are deposited on defective, metamorphic SiGe buffers, which may impact device ...
