Prefabricated vertical drain in marine clay soil using plaxis 2D

Due to the rapid development in Malaysia, area that can be considered as suitable soil which has high resistance to support the structure naturally has becoming increasingly rare. This phenomenon has force engineers to works in soft ground with high compressibility layer. The main risk for developme...

Civil engineering (General) Due to the rapid development in Malaysia, area that can be considered as suitable soil which has high resistance to support the structure naturally has becoming increasingly rare.
