Abstract

Improvement of soft clay for making the ground viable for construction has always been a dynamic area of research. One such ground improvement technique being widely used is the inclusion of Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD) in the soil to accelerate the consolidation. The effectiveness of using PVD can be further improved by combining surcharging with vacuum preloading. The paper deals with the 2D numerical modeling of soft soil stabilized with vertical drains subjected to combined vacuum-surcharge preloading using the finite element program ABAQUS. The predictions of settlement and pore-water pressure were compared with the experimental data reported in the literature.
