Abstract

An analytical solution for consolidation of double-layered ground by vertical drains is proposed, in which only the radial seepage is taken into consideration and the smear radius varies with soil layers. To improve the computing efficiency, a simplified method for selecting serious solutions is presented. The approximate solution is illustrated by Tang's solution (Tang and Onitsuka, 2001) and a large radial consolidation test. The error caused by the forbiddance of vertical drainage can be ignored when the ratio of vertical time factor to radial time factor is small enough, for example, 1/200; and which is easy to satisfy in the field. Through adjusting the control precision of series solutions, the consolidation behavior at any soil layer can be calculated. Horizontal permeability coefficient and smear radius affect the consolidation rate, especially when changing them in the layer which has smaller consolidation coefficient. Moreover, the orthogonal relation for the double-layered and muti-layered system is demonstrated. Using the proposed method, analytical solution for consolidation of double-layered ground by vertical drains can be more acceptable to engineers.

期刊介绍： The range of products and their applications has expanded rapidly over the last decade with geotextiles and geomembranes being specified world wide. This rapid growth is paralleled by a virtual explosion of technology. Current reference books and even manufacturers' sponsored publications tend to date very quickly and the need for a vehicle to bring together and discuss the growing body of technology now available has become evident. Geotextiles and Geomembranes fills this need and provides a forum for the dissemination of information amongst research workers, designers, users and manufacturers. By providing a growing fund of information the journal increases general awareness, prompts further research and assists in the establishment of international codes and regulations.
