Analytic solutions of consolidation of fine-grained compressible soils by vertical drains

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperConference Paperpeer-review

Abstract

Analytical closed form solutions of consolidation assisted by a vertical drain with smear and well resistance are presented. The solution proceeds in a fully coupled fashion and has the advantage of allowing for non-uniform initial pore pressure increase that current analytical solutions cannot perform. The closed-form solutions in the present paper may be evaluated in an electronic spreadsheet running on a standard personal computer.
