SETTLEMENT PREDICTION OF EMBANKMENTS STABILIZED WITH PREFABRICATED VERTICAL DRAINS AT SECOND BANGKOK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
This study describes the settlement prediction including the effect of smear on three full scale test embankments raised on soft clay foundations, which are improved by installation of vertical drains at the site of the Second Bangkok International Airport, In the analysis, the classical axisymmetric solution for consolidation by vertical drain has been converted into an equivalent 2-D plane strain analysis. It is revealed that the inclusion of smear effects in single drain analysis improves the settlement prediction significantly, at the center line of the embankment.
