Numerical Investigation to the Effect of Suction-Induced Seepage on the Settlement in the Underwater Vacuum Preloading with Prefabricated Vertical Drains

Vacuum preloading combined with prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) has the potential to improve the soft sediments under water, however, its development is partly limited by the unclear understanding of the mechanism. This paper aims to extend the comprehension of the influential mechanism of over...
