| Abstract | A numerical analysis method was developed to predict the consolidation behavior of very soft soil with horizontal drains under the action of the gravity pressure. Especially, seepage pressure produced at installed horizontal drains was considered in the analysis by developing a new boundary condition for drains in arbitrary arrangement. The numerical analysis for soil with horizontal drains was compared with the case of self-weight consolidation. The influence of design factors, such as a lateral spacing and a depth of installation of drains, on consolidation process was studied. As a result of analysis, it is found that the time to reach the degree of consolidation of 95% using horizontal drains takes 9 times less than that of self-weight consolidation and the whole settlement of clay with drains was occurred more than three times compared with the case without drains. |
