A method for the installation and the range of application of limestone drains, their design characteristics and special engineering features, and equipment for their fabrication are presented. Test requirements are outlined for determination of computed characteristics of soft saturated clayey soils. A procedure is presented for analysis of total-settlement characteristics and prediction of secondary settlement during preconstruction consolidation under load and deep stabilization by reinforcing limestone drains.
