Abstract
Aiming at some disputation about disposal methods on vertical draining channels in model of numerical analysis of vacuum preloading, some analysis was carried out in the paper. Through a practical key project, two different disposal methods of vertical draining channels were used in the project. The finite element software was used to simulate the consolidation process of soft-soil in site. The results of simulating calculation and results measuring in site were compared. Differences of the two methods were shown clearly in the paper. Applicable instances for the two different disposal methods were pointed out.
