This study aims at scrutinizing compression characteristics of soft clayey foundation improved by vertical drain.
Biot's consolidation equation equally based on elastics theory was selected as governing equation coupled with Yoshikuni's finites difference method for the numerical analysis. Vertical drain-well was modeled into cylindrical column various case studies including K_(0)-consolidation, isotropic consolidation and chemical pile were examined. For numerical analysis, consolidation potential, α and n=de/dw was selected as parameter.
Boundary condition dependent on the type of consolidated were determined in order to investigate compression characteristic and consolidation behavior.
