Standard Test Method for Vertical Strip Drains Using a Large-Scale Consolidation Test

Importancia y uso:

5.1 As this is a time-intensive test, it should not be considered as an acceptance test for commercial shipments of prefabricated vertical strip drains.

5.2 Prior to the development of vertical strip drains, when it was desired to increase the rate of consolidation of a compressible soil on a construction project, large-diameter sand drains were installed. Vertical strip drains can be installed in areas where it is desired to increase the rate of soils consolidation in place of these large-diameter sand drains.

5.3 This test method can be used to compare the performance of vertical strip drains to that of sand drains.
