Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Compaction at Dredger Fill Silty

Article Preview

Abstract:

Current practice of Dynamic compaction (D.C) depends mainly on field trials, past experience, and empirical equations based on reported records. In this paper, a numerical model is used to study the effectiveness of supplemental drains on densification of saturated dredger fill silty deposits during D.C. Typical numerical results are discussed using propose numerical model.
