Abstract:

Marine clay is found along the coastal regions of the world. This type of clay having unusual properties like low shear strength and high compressibility. It was found that electrokinetic treatment is effective tool in increasing the strength and removing the pore water from clay. Electrokinetic geosynthetics (EKG) are newly developed material which act as electrodes that prepared by combining the electrokinetic phenomena with functions of geosynthetics.The objective of the work is to study the dewatering efficiency of EKG as cathode in marine clay and the undrained shear strength. The various parameters studied are voltage(6V ,12V) and different number of electrodes(1 anode and 2 anode with 10 cm spacing).The undrained shear strength of soil samples were studied before and after the treatment. The variation of current and resistance is also studied

Keywords:

compressibility, electro kinetic treatment.
