Abstract

The prefabricated horizontal drains combined with vacuum preloading (PHDs-VP) method exhibits significant benefits in dredged slurry treatment. This study introduces an analytical model of slurry consolidation treated by PHDs-VP. In this model, the PHD is treated as a permeable boundary with a vacuum pressure. The governing equations are established by dividing the analytical unit into normal zone and clogged zone, and by incorporating the development process of the clogged zone. Numerical solutions are obtained utilizing the finite difference method. The accuracy and reliability of the solutions are validated through both degradation analysis and experimental verification. Furthermore, a parametrical analysis is conducted to investigate the influence of several key parameters on consolidation behavior. The results indicate that the clogging effect significantly retards the consolidation process, with a lower permeability coefficient or a greater thickness of the clogged zone resulting in a more pronounced reduction in the consolidation rate. Additionally, the consolidation rate decreases with the accelerated development of the clogged zone, and this effect becomes more pronounced with denser PHDs layout.

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.
