Numerical analysis of embankments on soft soils incorporating vertical drains

The use of vertical drains in embankments on soft soils is one of the most adequate techniques when the main purpose is to accelerate the consolidation. In the paper, three-dimensional behaviour of an embankment on soft soils incorporating vertical drains (geosynthetic band drains) is modeled with a...
