CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Urbanization, industrial developmentand oil exploration, due to logistics, most often take pin the coastal regions. Hence soft clays are invariably encountered n geotechnical engineepractice. Stress, ime and environment play a dominant role in the formation of soft clay. Tare mutually exclusive processes,with the principle of superposition of their effects not btenable.The shear stress-strainbehavior of in-situ soft clays, although seemingly akin to thastress-strain-pore ressureor volumetric strains are considered n totality.
The design and construction of infrastructure facilities in the soft soil of coastal regions mnecessaryby extensive urbanization and industrialization entail detailed assessmentof

The objectives of ground improvementare:Reducesettlement of structuresImprove shear strength and bearingcapacity of shallow foundationsIncrease actor of safety against possibleslope failure of embankmentsanddams.Reduceshrinkage and swelling of soils.
According to Hoeg (1986), seafloor instability and slope movements are reported from sevareas, for instance the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Alaska and Norway. Mainly since thevents, ocean floor instability has been studied in a much broader sense.Several of the mtypes of oil platform foundations are the Hutton tension-leg platform, Magnus steel-tempjacket platform and Guyed tower. The foundations of theseplatforms undergoboth tensioncompressionforceswhen oceanwaves exert lateral forceson the platforms. Thus, it is impoto increasehe tension (pull-out) andthe compressivecapacity of the piles in the seabed.

CHAPTER 2LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORY
2.1 CHARACTERISTICS OF SOFT CLAY
Firstly, the inherent characteristics of soft clay is to be presented as soft ground comprisedeposits having potential for high compressibility and possessing low strength. Tcharacteristicsare he compressibility, shear strength and permeability.
According to Nagaraj et al. (2001), a typical compressionpath of soft soil is of inverse S-shaThe three zonesof the compressionpath are as shown in Figure 1. In level 1,the compressionegligible. Beyond Zone 1, the compression s high and in zone , it changes ts curvature.T

The surfacesof soil solid particles carry electrical charges.Clays are strongly influenced bypresenceof water due to their high surface activity. The clay-water interaction resultstendency of the counter ions and other dissociated ions to diffuse away from the surfaccounterbalancethe electrostatic attraction. The concentration of attracted ions will dimiwhile the concentration of counter ions increaseswith distance from the surface. The chasurface and the strongly held cation at the surfacetogether with the relatively mobile couions in the medium adjacent to the surface are consideredto be two layers. Thus, the wsystemis referred to asthe `Diffuse double layer'. The concentration of charges s greaterthe surfaceand diminisheswith distanceaway from the particle surface.

concentratedaqueoussolution of electrolytes, electromigration of ions is the major cauof current conduction. With regardto contaminatedsoils, electromigration is the primamechanismof electroremediation when the contaminantsare ionic of surface charged.Electroosmosis: nvolves water transport through continuous soil particle network, whethe movement is primarily generatedn the diffuse double layer or soil moisture film. Tprinciple mechanism n electroosmosis s the migrating ions, where the cations migratethe cathode and the anions move towards the anode (Gray and Mitchell, 196Accordingly, when an electric field (DC) is applied to clay-water system,the surfaceparticle is fixed, whereas he mobile diffuse layer moves carrying solution with it.
Furthermore, due to the nature of clay formation, which usually results in significantly negatcharged clay particles,the predominant ions within the pore fluid are incidentally cationic. Thclayey soil has significantly greater number of cations than that of anions. This results ingeneral low of water in the direction of the cathode Mitchell, 1991).

negatively charged ions firmly attached to the wall, outside of which consists of mobile posiions.
Whena direct current is applied, the mobile positive cations will beattracted owards the cathdragging with themthe free water molecules causing general movement of water from anodcathode.
By the migration of water ions from anode o cathode, he porewater pressure n the generalof the soil will be reduced and thus will improve the shear strength of the soil. The migrawater canbe isolatedand discarded by physical means,suchasdrainage.
According to Shang (1997), the factors affecting the performance of electrokinetic stabilizaare internal and external in nature. The intrinsic factors include the grain size and mineral tsalinity, pH, hydraulic permeability, current density, and electrode material and design.

Electro-osmotic permeability is independentof the soil pore size as ke is nearly of the smagnitudefor sands,silts and clays, provided that the electro-osmotic potential is about he sfor most of the mineral matter in the soil. For practical purposes,for most saturated soicoefficient of electro-osmotic permeability of 5x 10 5cm/sec per volt/cm can be useddewateringandconsolidating clays.
For assessment f relative efficacy of electro-osmoticdewatering,the hydraulic conductivit
the soft clay must be estimated. n Table 1, the data of kevalues of a number of soils along the efficiency factor, F, due to electrokinetic is shown. From the table, electrokinetic issuitablefor fine sandsand silts.

2.3 ELECTROCHEMICAL STABILIZATION OF SOIL
The experimental setupfor electrochemical stabilization is similar to that of electro-osmosiswith an addition of electrolytes at the anode, cathode, or throughout the soil sample. It has bdiscovered that this method has greatly facilitates the transportof desired ions through the sthus enhancing he stabilization processof the soil.
Like the traditional chemical stabilization, electrochemical stabilization improves theproperties through modification and stabilization reactions, with the additional advantagtransporting `desired ion' through the soil enhancing the ability to strengthen themodification and especially stabilizationthrough cementing process.
Electrochemical stabilization is conductedby injecting predeterminedelectrolytes at the anoand cathodesand inducing direct current electrical field throughout the soil.

This, in return, allows closer contact between the clay platelets, promoting edge-to-edgeattraction, or more commonly known as flocculation (FigureHence, the change in the workability of the soil, permeability, plasticity, and swproperties.

The apparatus s available in the Mechanical Engineering Building laboratory and is of 5000 capacity Figure 6). The constant speed of pull-out is set to 50 mm/ min. In the study by NGurung et al., the pull-out force was in the range of 0-30 kN and in that of Wan-Huan Zhou et athe range is 0-35 kN. However, in the case of marine clay, this capacity of this apparatussuitableto conduct pull-out test.

However, the possibility of deprecipitation of the precipitatesthat have formed during the first 7days is not ruled out. Precipitates hat form when the pH is high might deprecipitatewhen the pHof the locality drops after the polarity of the electrodes s reversed.The pH values of the samplecanbe observed rom Table 6 and Figure 25. This directly causesa decreaseof the shearstrengthvalues.
As discussed n section 4.1, the main strengthening mechanisms or the shear strength are theprecipitation of insoluble salts and formation of cementitious materials. This hypothesiswill beableto be clarified should XRD and XRF testsare conducted on the samples.

While in the treatment with polarity reversal, the highest is also from Sample 2, whichcorrespondingly shows the highest shear strength. Formation of cementitious materials is veryrapid when pH is high, thus explaining why the highest shear strength and pH aretaken from thesamesample.
As can be seenfrom the result, samples1,3,4 and 5 are generally acidic. This is causedby thH+ ions travelling from the anode o cathode.Note that the electrode configuration is reversed nthe second week of electrokinetics treatment (Figure 20). Thus during the second week, thcathode will be placed outside of the pile. Thus, H+ and other cations are attractedtowards thoutward direction. This in turn lowers the pH values of the locality.
In explaining the result of sampled pH, the author hypothesizes hat the pH have been higher asome points throughout the treatment phase and dropped at the end of it. This might havoccurred when the OH ions decreasedwhen they chemically react to produce non-basi
