daveross,
Here are a couple that I have reviewed that are related to the subject.

1. SAND DRAIN PERFORMANCE ON A SAN FRANCISCO BAY MUD SITE
By Edward Margason and Ignacio Arango
Proceeding of the Specialty conference on Performance of Earth and Earth-Supported Structures, Purdue U/June 1972/ASCE

2. PERFORMANCE OF EMBANKMENTS WITH SAND DRAINS ON SENSITIVE CLAY
By Charles C. Ladd, Joseph J. Rixner, and Douglas G. Gifford (same conference and date as above)
