    PVDs were installed in a 10m thick clay layer in a square pattern with 2m spacing. The PVDs are 100mm wide and 4mm thick. The clay has vertical and horizontal permeability of 2.0 m2/year and 3.0 m2/year respectively. The boundary below the clay is impervious. Assuming a smear ratio of 3 and smeared soil permeability of 1.5 m2/year, the document calculates the degree of consolidation achieved in one year through radial drainage from the PVDs and vertical drainage from the top and bottom boundaries.

    Example 2a
    Given: PVDs were installed in a compressible clay layer of 10 m thickness in a square pattern with a
    spacing of 2 m. The PVD used is 100 mm wide and 4 mm thick. The coefficients of permeability of the
    clay in the vertical and horizontal directions are 2.0 m²/year and 3.0 m²/year, respectively. The
    boundary below the clay was impervious.

    Solution:
    a) Degree of consolidation achieved in one year’s time.

    9. The combined degree of consolidation is:
