Stochastic Finite Element Analysis for Ground Improvement by Vertical Drains of Spatially Variable Soils

A stochastic approach that investigates the effects of soil spatial variability on stabilization of soft clay via prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) is presented and discussed. The approach integrates the local average subdivision of random field theory with the Monte Carlo finite element techniqu...
