Analytical Solutions for Plane Strain Consolidation of Layered Unsaturated–Saturated Ground With Vertical Drains: Role of Lateral Semi‐Permeable Boundaries

ABSTRACT The coexistence of saturated and unsaturated soil layers is common for soil subgrade improvement by a combination of prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) and surcharge preloading. In such scenarios, the smear effect of PVDs and the layered hydraulic properties significan...
