As a kind of weak foundation treatment method, vacuum preloading (VP) combined with
prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) has been used in practical engineering successfully. The …

This paper aims to establish an analytical model on vacuum consolidation of dredged slurry
treated by PVD with special considerations on the clogging effects. A series of laboratory …

Recently, biopolymers have emerged in soil stabilisation. The efficiency of biopolymers in
ground improvement is mainly dependent on biopolymer types, soil types, biopolymer …

The improvement efficiency of a dredged slurry by vacuum preloading is greatly affected by
the apparent clogging effect arising during the consolidation process, where the apparent …

Air booster vacuum preloading is a newly improved method applied in land reclamation
projects. Highly pressurized air can provide an additional pressure difference between the …

Prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) have been used extensively to accelerate the
consolidation rate of dredged slurry. While some fine particles from dredged slurry can …

Air‐boosted vacuum preloading is a newly emerging soft soil‐improving technology and
increasingly draws attention of researchers and engineers. However, few analytical theories …

The deformation characteristics of soil among prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) subjected
to vacuum pressure are investigated using a model test conducted on dredged slurry. Red …

Consolidating dredged clay slurries using a combination of vacuum pressure and
prefabricated horizontal drains (PHDs) is widely used in practice. This is a large strain …

Construction waste slurry is used as backfill in construction engineering as a type of solid
waste. However, the initial water content of the waste slurry is high and must be dewatered …
