Abstract
Prefabricated horizontal drains combined with vacuum preloading (PHDs‐VP) have addressed the shortcomings of prefabricated vertical drains combined with vacuum preloading (PVDs‐VP), beginning to emerge as a popular method for dredged slurry treatment. However, theoretical research on PHDs‐VP consolidation is relatively scarce. This study proposes a novel analytical model for predicting the consolidation behavior of the slurry treated by PHDs‐VP. This model treats the PHDs layer as a continuous drainage layer. Analytical solutions considering the clogging effect and the vacuum preloading process have been derived. The correctness and applicability of the proposed model have been verified through degeneration analysis and comparison with laboratory experimental data. Subsequently, an in‐depth sensitivity analysis of parameters has been conducted to assess the influence on consolidation. The research findings indicate that the clogging effect significantly reduces the consolidation rate, while the influence of the increasing rate in vacuum pressure is relatively minor. Additionally, increasing the slurry filling rate and the PHDs layout density can both accelerate soil consolidation. These findings offer significant guidance for the implementation of PHDs‐VP method in engineering.
期刊介绍:
The journal welcomes manuscripts that substantially contribute to the understanding of the complex mechanical behaviour of geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete, ice, snow, and powders), through innovative experimental techniques, and/or through the development of novel numerical or hybrid experimental/numerical modelling concepts in geomechanics. Topics of interest include instabilities and localization, interface and surface phenomena, fracture and failure, multi-physics and other time-dependent phenomena, micromechanics and multi-scale methods, and inverse analysis and stochastic methods. Papers related to energy and environmental issues are particularly welcome. The illustration of the proposed methods and techniques to engineering problems is encouraged. However, manuscripts dealing with applications of existing methods, or proposing incremental improvements to existing methods – in particular marginal extensions of existing analytical solutions or numerical methods – will not be considered for review.
