Abstract:This volume presents procedures and guidelines applicable to the design and instal
tion of prefabricated vertical drains to accelerate consolidation of soils. The
contents represent the Consultant's interpretation of the state-of-the-art as of
August 1986. The volume is intended to provide assistance to engineers in determining
the applicability of PV drains to a given project and in the design of PV
drain systems. The information contained herein is intended for use by civil engineers
familiar with the fundamentals of soil mechanics and the principles of precompression.
The volume includes descriptions of types and physical characteristics of PV drains,
discussion of design considerations, recommended design procedures, guideline specifications
and comments pertaining to installation guidelines, construction control,
and performance evaluation.
This volume is the first in a series. The others in the series are:
