Vacuum Preloading Combined with Electroosmotic Dewatering of Dredger Fill Using the Vertical-Layered Power Technology of a Novel Tubular Electrokinetic Geosynthetics: Test and Numerical Simulation

A novel tubular EKG material in electroosmotic field test combined with a vacuum preloading method was first conducted in a reclamation project in Ningbo, China, by using a vertical-layered power technology aiming to improve the drainage effect of the deep soil. The reinforcement effect of this tubular EKG was compared with that of conventional plate EKG by monitoring the strength, water content, settlement, and pore pressure accumulation. Test...
