| description | In order to conceptualize the electrokinetic phenomena in tropical peat soils, a
comprehensive review of the literature got into perspective. Peat soils represent an
accumulation of disintegrated plant remains which have been preserved under condition of
incomplete aeration and high water content. Electrokinetic techniques are innovative
ground improvement methods for soft soils. In this technology with minimal disruption can
cause electrochemical effects in soft soils, leading to changes in soil's geomechanical
properties. The high water content, net negative charge, high specific surface area, the fully
pH dependent of the charge surface, and high resistivity of peat soils all make suitable
environment for utilization of electrokinetic techniques and coax researchers into resolving
peat’s difficulties from geotechnical and geoenvironmental viewpoint. |
