Micro-Structure Behavior of Soft Clay under Consolidation through Radial Flow Using PVDs
This paper discusses some of the most critical issues related to behavior of clay particles during consolidation phenomena through radial flow using central vertical drains. The macro mechanics of consolidation of soil is evaluated using scanning electron microscopy of consolidated clay samples based on development and dissipation of excess pore water pressure using vertical drains viz. coir-jute fiber drain and sand drain of varying diameters. Micro compressibility of soft clay mass based on volumetric porosity is deduced with Quanti-image analyzer with system of micro-structure characterization (MIC) software, thereby introducing a relation between rate of consolidation, rate of suction and rate of repulsion of clay-pore water system. This methodology has given better clues to find eco-bio vertical geodrain for rapid consolidation of soft soils.
