Axisymmetric versus Plane Strain Analyses of Ground Improvement by Prefabricated Vertical Drains Considering Soil Spatial Variability

Although soil consolidation around an individual drain is more appropriately analyzed as an axisymmetric problem, most previous numerical studies regarding soil consolidation via prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) were conducted on the basis of plane strain conditions so as to achieve run-time eff...
