Abstract
    The excess pore pressure increases under undrained cyclic loading which cause decrease in effective stress followed by possible failure in the soft soil. With the inclusion of vertical drains radial drainage allows quick dissipation of excess pressure during cyclic loading and thereby failure of foundation soil may be avoided. The present study aims for analytical closed-form investigation on soft cohesive deposit under radial flow consolidation through vertical drains with no smear when subjected to long-term rapid cyclic loading. The mathematical formulation of pore pressure including degree of consolidation under cyclic loading is developed by using Green
 
Key Words
