Vertical Drain
Method to speed up the flow of water from the soil mass so that maximum
settlement can be accelerated for highly compressible soil (increase the

The flow distance must be smaller than the thickness of the clay layer
If the clay layer is thin, the use of vertical drain is uneconomical
