Abstract :
Soft soil has very compressible properties where deformation or settlement that
occurs due to the burden on it will be very large and takes a long time, so that
efforts are needed to accelerate the process of land degradation. One method for
overcoming large decreases and long downtimes is to use Prefabricated Vertical
Drain (PVD). This study aims to compare the decrease in soil consolidation
without using PVD and using PVD, as well as knowing excess pore pressure and
safety factors for each variation.
