On a macroscale, the effect of installing prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) in a subsoil is to increase the mass hydraulic conductivity of the subsoil in the vertical direction. Based on this concept, a simple method for modeling PVD improved subsoils is proposed, in which an equivalent vertical hydraulic conductivity kve for the PVD improved subsoil is explicitly derived. With the proposed simple method, analysis of PVD improved subsoil is the same as that of the unimproved case. The theoretical verification of the simple method was made under 1D condition. The calculated average degree of consolidation and excess pore pressure distribution in the vertical direction using the simple method are compared with existing theoretical solutions (combination of Terzaghi's consolidation theory and Hansbo's solution for PVD consolidation). It has been proved theoretically that, in terms of average degree of consolidation, in the case of one layer and ignoring the vertical drainage of natural subsoil, the maximu...
