Probabilistic Study into the Impact of Soil Spatial Variability on Soil Consolidation by Prefabricated Vertical Drains

Soil consolidation by prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) relies on several soil properties that are spatially variable such as the coefficients of permeability and volume compressibility. However, available design methods assume a single best estimate of the degree of consolidation based on “avera...
