Record 6 1991-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Earthmoving
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
CONT

In order to hasten consolidation time periods a combination of sand drains and surcharging has been used since the 1930s. Sand drains are vertical columns of high-permeability sand or gravel that are installed continuously through the fine-grained subsoil that is causing the problem. A preconstruction fill, called a surcharge loading, is then placed over the entire site covering the sand drains. This surcharge mobilizes excess pore pressures in the soil water, which then flows horizontally to the sand drain, and then vertically within the sand drain to eventually escape through a sand blanket or other permeable horizontal stratum.
