Probabilistic Analysis of Isotropic Versus Anisotropic Spatial Variability of Soil in Design of Prefabricated Vertical Drains for Ground Improvement

The design of soil consolidation via prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) has been traditionally carried out deterministically and thus can be misleading due to the ignorance of the uncertainty associated with the inherent spatial variation of soil properties. To treat such uncertainty, the use of r...
