RUDIMENTS OF ELECTROKINETIC METHOD OF SOIL REMEDIATION IN CIVIL ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE

M. Amirthavarshini, R. Selvaraj

Abstract :

 Reinforced and prestressed concretes are being used for foundations of many mega structures and some of these underground structures are located in contaminated soil. The contaminants like sulphates and chlorides attack concrete and steel to greater extent and thus many catastrophic structural failures occur. In this paper the theory and philosophy of electrokinetic method of extracting sulphates and chlorides are discussed with their critical issues for effective functioning. Although this method is used widely from 1983 for extracting heavy metals it can also be adopted for removal of detrimental species to concrete and steel in contaminated soil.
