Analysis of soil disturbance associated with mandrel-driven prefabricated vertical drains using an elliptical cavity expansion theory.

The installation of mandrel-driven prefabricated vertical drains and resulting disturbance of soft saturated clays are analyzed with a new elliptical cavity expansion theory. This formulated theory accounts for a concentric progression of elliptical cavities in an undrained condition and the large-s...
