ABSTRACT

Most of the existing models were developed on the basis of bench scale tests run on mono-mineral artificial clay samples They usually assume full saturation of the soil throughout the whole duration of the tests, and disregard the effects of pore pressure evolution. On the contrary, electrochemical reactions developing under the application of a DC field, starting from electrolysis, tend to generate gaseous species. Therefore, they demand for the analysis of a three-phase system, in which pore pressure evolution may be correctly predicted.
