Design Curves for Prefabricated Vertical Drains

open access: yesJournal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 1997
Vertical drains and preloading are very effective and economical ground modification techniques for accelerating primary consolidation and compensating some secondary compression of soft compressib...

Soft ground improvement via vertical drains and vacuum assisted preloading

open access: yesGeotextiles and Geomembranes, 2012
Application of vacuum assisted preloading is an imperative method when a considerable load is required to meet the desired rate of settlement and an increase in the undrained shear strength upon consolidation.

The Draining of a Vertical Plate

Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 1930
When a vessel of liquid has been emptied and put aside, a thin film of liquid clings to the inside and gradually drains down to the bottom under the action of gravity. The layer being thin, the motion is very nearly laminar flow, and the curvature of the surface in a horizontal direction may be ignored.

Self-Similar Draining near a Vertical Edge

Physical Review Letters, 2020
When a liquid film drains on a vertical plate, the film becomes nonuniform near the vertical edge. Here we experimentally report the three-dimensional (3D) self-similar shape of this film. Based on the well-known 2D self-similar solution of a draining film far from the edge, we identify a new 3D self-similar scaling, which converts the partial ...

Three-dimensional analysis of embankments on soft soils incorporating vertical drains by finite element method

open access: yesComputers and Geotechnics, 2004

Consolidation of double‐layered ground with vertical drains

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, 2001
AbstractVertical drains are usually installed in subsoil consisting of several layers. Due to the complex nature of the problem, over the past decades, the consolidation properties of multi‐layered ground with vertical drains have been analysed mainly by numerical methods.
