assessment of electro-osmotic stabilization of expansive soils

چکیده
among the most common types of problematic soils, are probably the expansive ones. one of the modern methods of strengthening and improving the soil in place is the use of electro-osmotic improving treatment. this paper presents the design of an apparatus suitable for electro-osmotic treatment. a soil sample of a high expansive potential was compacted and the effect of electro-osmotic treatment under different voltages of 12, 24 and 48 of the direct current (dc) and improvement periods of 1, 2, 7 and 28 days studied. the results revealed that the electro-osmotic treatment intensively reduced the expansive potential of soil (51-85%) around the anode pole. the chemical test results show that ph of the soil around the anode was reduced by 27-46%. also, it was revealed that the electrochemical change, due to electro-osmotic treatment alters the soil properties and increases compression strength of the soil up to eight times the initial one. the increase in the compressive strength of the irrigation channels bed through electro-osmotic treatment enhanced the channels' required safety as well as stability.

Numerical Solution for Heave of Expansive Soils
A numerical solution for heave prediction is developed within the context theories for both saturated and unsaturated soil behaviors. Basically, lowering the potential level of compressing on a saturated layer will cause heaving due to water absorption. This water absorption is in an opposite way, similar to water dissipation as what happens during unloading in consolidation process. However, i...
متن کاملBehavior of Flexible Pavements on Expansive Soils
This investigation discusses the findings on analysis results of a pavement structure constructed on a relatively expansive material consisting mainly of brown clayey silt in Tebessa, Algeria. Cores were brought to the laboratory from a piece of roadwork. Remolded samples were taken from subgrade of a deteriorated road. The soils were generally found to be of medium plasticity and of a medium t...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Chemical Amelioration of Expansive Soils
Expansive soils swell when they absorb water and shrink when water evaporates from them. Hence, lightly loaded civil engineering structures founded in these soils are subjected to severe distress. Therefore, there is a need to ameliorate or improve these swelling soils through some innovative methods. This paper discusses chemical stabilisation of expansive soils, a technique in which chemical ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Polypropylene Fiber in the Stabilization of Expansive Soils
Expansive soils are often encountered in many parts of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid fields. Such kind of soils, generally including active clay minerals in low water content, enlarge in volume by absorbing the water through the surface and cause a great harm to the light structures such as channel coating, roads and airports. The expansive soils were encountered on the path of Ap...
