Abstract
Geosynthetic reinforcement and prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs), both separately and in combination, have substantially improved the engineer’s ability to cost-effectively construct embankments and fills over difficult and soft soils. This chapter explores the reason for the success and the benefits that can be achieved using geosynthetics as a basal reinforcement, and PVDs to increase short-term stability of embankments and to accelerate...
