The effectiveness of electrodes types on electro-osmosis of Malaysian soil

Electro osmosis technique is known as an effective method for stabilizing clay. The process involves passing an electrical current through soil mass by dissolution of electrode material or by introduction of chemical solution at the electrode. The dewatering process induced by the introduction of ch...
