Abstract

The pore water pressure in soil during the stationary electro-osmotic process in soil mass was studied with respect to the mechanism of the variation of its distribution in soil mass and also to the influence on the soil properties.Several apparatuses for measuring the pore water pressure in soil were designed and used. The analysis of the experimental results may develop a completely different theory of the distribution of the pore water pressure during electro-osmotic process in soil as in the past.According to this theory, the variation of the distribution of the pore water pressure was chiefly caused by the junction of pH in soil mass and the difference of the speed of electroosmosis between the right hand side and the left hand side of this zone.The physical and mechanical soil properties was much influenced by this variation of the distribution of the pore water pressure during electro-osmotic prccess.
