Résumé : |
The study is on the electrokinetic strengthening of caisson anchors embedded in offshore calcareous sand. The effects of electrode configuration on the effectiveness of electrokinetic treatment are investigated based on electric field analysis and are verified by results from a series of large scale laboratory tests on caisson models of 200mm diam and 400mm height, embedded in calcareous sand submerged under seawater. The electrokinetic treatment generates cementation of soil solids as well as bonding between soil and caisson shafts, which leads to increases in the side resistance and overall pullout resistance. The effectiveness of electrokinetic treatment is directly related to the electric field intensity. A linear relationship is observed between the increase in the side resistance and energy consumption. The study shows that the effectiveness of electrokinetic treatments can be maximized by the optimization of the electric field distribution through the electrode configuration. |
