We developed a numerical method for the problem of dissipating pore-water in hydraulic fills. The Dufort-Frankel's finite difference algorithms were applied to the problem with remodeled boundary conditions. The result showed that the horizontal drain with the vacuum consolidation is more efficient than self-weight or horizontal drain without vacuum in consolidating hydraulic fills.
