The installation of vertical drains with a mandrel causes significant disturbance of the subsoil surrounding the mandrel, resulting in asmear zone. The smear zone affects the consolidation of the soil. This paper presents a new analytical solution for the consolidationanalysis of soil with a vertical drain. this zone retards the horizontal consolidation of soft clays in the vicinity of PVD. The characteristicsof the smear zone, such as its extent and hydraulic conductivity remain discrepant among investigators. This study attempts to determinethe extent of the smear zone and to measure the hydraulic conductivity of the smear zone directly by laboratory tests.
