SETTLEMENT RATES IN THE VARVED CLAYS OF THE HACKENSACK MEADOWLANDS
Field settlement and piezometer data for four highway construction projects have been used to determine the effective rates of consolidation in the varved clays of the Hackensack meadowlands. The data were used to evaluate the relative performance of sand drains installed by displacement and nondisplacement methods and areas where sand drains were not used. The effects of the use of sand drains and sand drain spacing are evaluated.
