Modelling of ground improvement by vertical drains in highly variable soils

The research presented in this thesis focuses on the probabilistic modelling of soil consolidation via prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) considering soil spatial variability. Soils are highly variable from one point to another in the ground and yet this is often coupled with inadequate site data,...
