Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVDs) is widely used in modern day construction to hasten the process of consolidation settlement within clay layers. Similar to all geotechnical scenarios, prediction of the rate and magnitude of settlement with PVDs with minimum discrepancies has always been a challe...
