Enhancement of Soil Stabilization by Electrokinetic Process
In this paper, an attempt was made to dewater soft clay using an electro-osmotic process with the inclusion of geotextiles. Two types of electrokinetic cells, namely, a cylindrical tank consisting of strip electrodes and a rectangular tank consisting of plate electrodes, were used. Experiments were conducted for varying voltages of 60 and 90 V with initial moisture content (IMC) of 60 and 70%. The enhancement of soil stabilization is done by placing a geotextile layer vertically between the electrodes. Upon application of current, water is collected at cathode till a steady state is reached. The results indicated that the use of plate electrodes was considered to be more efficient than strip electrodes. The efficiency of dewatering increases with an increase in voltage and further rate of dewatering was improved by the inclusion of geotextile. Hence it is concluded that the type of electrodes, voltage, IMC, and the placement of geotextile determine the effectiveness of electrokinetic process of dewatering.
