Analytical solution for vacuum preloading considering the nonlinear distribution of horizontal permeability within the smear zone.
The vacuum preloading is an effective method which is widely used in ground treatment. In consolidation analysis, the soil around prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) is traditionally divided into smear zone and undisturbed zone, both with constant permeability. In reality, the permeability of soil ch...
