This method is suitable within the degrees of consolidation of 60–90%. Results indicate that the estimated coefficients of radial consolidation (Cr) are slightly larger. In two case studies, the estimated Cr values are closer to the coefficients of vertical consolidation obtained from the standard oedometer tests but differ from those values derived from the cone penetration test (CPT) tests. In another case study, where not laboratory results are available, the estimated Cr values fall within a lower bound determined by CPT results. The reason of these differences is due to various factors such as smear and well resistance, the vertical drain type, and its finite drainage capacity. It also appears that, in contrast to the solution obtained by Barron, the settlement versus time curves from the proposed method concur with the monitored curves. Finally, the applicability of the proposed method is discussed based on the case studies.
