The Electro-Osmotic Potential Regarding Pre-Fabricated Vertical Drains
Publication: Geosynthetics Research and Development in Progress
Abstract
The 1990s was a decade of a quiet revolution in geosynthetics. This group of construction materials evolved from performing basic functions of separation, reinforcement, containment, filtration and drainage to serving as a passive element (conductive geomembranes) locating post-installation liner system damage, to actively inducing physical and chemical changes within a soil mass. This paper explores the phenomena of electro osmosis and use of conductive polymers in prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) to induce excess pore pressures and facilitate consolidation and strengthening of a soil mass.
