Phenomenal Effect of Electroosmotic on Kaolinite Soil Using Different Types of Electrodes

This report basically discusses the interim research done and basic understanding of the chosen topic, which is Phenomenal Effect of Electroosmotic Treatment on Kaolinite Soil Using Different Types of Electrodes. The objective of the project is to determine the effect of electroosmosis treatment whether this method can stabilize the Kaolinite clay or vice versa using medium electroosmotic box with a dimension of l5"x 8"x V. The reason of using the box is to ensure the application of electroosmotic is almost equivalent to the real sites situation. Copper, aluminium and steel are the electrodes used in this treatment. The basic properties of the in-situ kaolinite clay are obtained by basic engineering test. Electroosmotic treatment that has been carried out show that the increased in shear strength, reduction in moisture content, and changed in pH value of kaolinite soil. Result also shows that different types of electrodes and varies voltage applied in this treatment give different effectiveness in stabilizing the Kaolinite cla
