Effects of Spatial Variability on Consolidation of Soft Soil Stabilized by Prefabricated Vertical Drains

The conventional deterministic approaches for analysis of soil consolidation by prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) assume a single best estimate of the degree of consolidation based on "average" soil properties used to define an "equivalent" homogeneous soil, leading to unrelia...
