Model tests and simulation analyses on lateral deformation characteristics of PVD-improved ground by Qichang WU, Fang XU, Qishu ZHANG, Yangfa PENG, Xu HAN, Bo RUAN, Qi YANG

“…To explore the lateral deformation characteristics of prefabricated vertical drains (PVD)-improved soft ground under different preloading loads and provide guidance for the design and construction of relevant structures in soft deposit regions, this study analyzed the lateral deformation characteristics of PVD-improved ground under surcharge preloading and combined vacuum and surcharge preloading using large-scale model tests. The influence of loading rate (LR), surcharge load (ps), and vacuum pressure magnitude (|pv|) on the lateral deformation of PVD-improved ground under combined preloading was systematically studied using finite element analyses. …”
