Abstract
Large-scale tank consolidation experiments are conducted in laboratory and simulated using a porefluid
and stress coupling finite element method. Porous elastic and modified critical state plasticity
model are used in the simulation to understand the mechanics of wick drain in improving soil
consolidation. The numerical study improves the understanding of the effects of onion ring and smear
effects on the soft soil settlement during consolidation using wick drains.
