Wick drains

(OP)
I used to have this great packet of info for wick drains and now I can't find it for anything.  Does anyone have a nice tidy reference to design and settlement calcs for wick drains?

RE: Wick drains

Go to Nilex.com.  You can download their lengthy manual.  

RE: Wick drains

FHWA has extensive (free, downloadable) guidance for wick drains (from 1986). I did a recent project using this methodology: Effect of the Smear and Transition Zones around
Prefabricated Vertical Drains Installed in a Triangular
Pattern on the Rate of Soil Consolidation
D. Basu, S.M.ASCE1; and M. Prezzi, M.ASCE2 - from the ASCE Geotech Journal Jan/Feb 2007. Worked like a charm.

I flipped through that website.  I think I'll spend the weekend looking through the rest. :)

Thanks!
