In this project about 700.000 meters of wickdrains (prefabricated vertical drains-PVD) were specified. Working with sand drains need more time and work. The soil should be consolidated quickly, and the road is near the…

I think the first project that the wickdrains have been used was in Belgium, in the Brussels Metropolitan Transport system. The second may be the Eskisehir light rail tram system. Actually the main application…
PVD’s have high discharge capacities, typically 30 x 10-6 m3/sec to 90 x 10-6 m3/sec compared to a Ø 0.35 sand drain with a discharge capacity of 20 x 10-6 m3/sec (Van Santvoort, 1994).…
where: t = consolidation period (years) D = diameter of drained soil cylinder (m) d = equivalent diameter of drain (m) Ch = horizontal consolidation coefficient (m2/year) Uh = average horizontal consolidation degree
calculation assumes PVD cylindrical and draining effect dependent on periphery PVD effective periphery is 2 x width x f, where f is a correction factor allowing for: less favorable inflow to possible disturbance &…
1)triangular spacing standard 2)for a square grid : D = 1.128 S S : spacing of drains D : diameter of the equivalent cylindrical column of soil, drained by each drain. For more information…
