The article presents a study which discusses the development of a Suction-CAIN numerical analysis program that optimizes a suction board drain. The authors applied Hird's theory to examine the effects on an actual three-dimensional (3D) drain placement. The study shows that the Suction-CAIN program had the same results as actual construction site data such as settlement, horizontal displacement, and vacuum pressure.
