prefabricated vertical drains (pvd) (wick drains) construction. soft ground improvement

prefabricated vertical drain (PVD)
Piles and prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) are two well-established inclusions used by geotechnical practitioners when dealing with soft compressible foundations. Induced movements in highly compressible soil can adversely influence the pile response by inducing additional movements and stresses in the piles. Especially, undesirable soil-pile interaction often leads to the development of excess pore-water pressure during pile installation and negative skin friction caused by the settlement of compressible soil surrounding the piles. Additional drainage by PVDs prior to the installation of a pile could reduce excess pore-water pressure, lateral soil movement, and negative skin friction on the pile. In this paper, full-scale field testing on two trial embankments built on soft soil is reported and the relative behaviour of these two embankments is compared and discussed. Soft soil underneath both embankments was consolidated before one pile was installed at the centre of each embankment. The pore-water pressure, lateral soil movement, surface settlement, and associated strain at the pile shaft were recorded. The pile capacity was tested immediately and 3 h after pile installation. The monitoring and testing results indicated that preconsolidation with PVDs before piling can effectively reduce the excess pore-water pressure, lateral soil movement, and downdrag on the pile.
Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVDs) or ‘Wick Drains' are composed of a plastic core encased by a geotextile for the purpose of expediting consolidation of slow draining soils. They are typically coupled with surcharging to expedite preconstruction soil consolidation. Surcharging means to pre-load soft soils by applying a temporary load to the ground that exerts stress of usually equivalent or greater magnitude than the anticipated design stresses. The surcharge will increase pore water pressures initially, but with time the water will drain away and the soil voids will compress. These prefabricated wick drains are used to shorten pore water travel distance, reducing the preloading time. The intent is to accelerate primary settlement. Pore water will flow laterally to the nearest drain, as opposed to vertical flow to an underlying or overlying drainage layer. The drain flow is a result from the pressures generated in the pore water. Figure 2 below demonstrate vertical water flow without the use of prefabricated wick drains, and horizontal water flow with the use of wick drains.
[B] Cross-Section With and Without Vertical Drains
Initial settlements are seldom of much practical concern, except for loads on thick plastic or organic soils having marginal stability wherein large shear deformation may continue due to undrained creep [6].
Prefabricated wick drains have several other purposes. They may be applied to reduce potential down drag on piles, or increase storage capacity for future landfills and waste containment sites. A developing application for PVD are the collection and extraction of contaminated groundwater, which may be coupled with cutoff walls to ensure full withdrawal.

Should we removed the mud from the pvd point before backfilling the sand?
