ABSTRACT: An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of energy consumption on the axial load capacity of a foundation model embedded in soft clay. The tests were carried out in four identical electrokinetic treatment cells and dc voltages between 5 and 20 V with intermittent and continuous current. The results showed that electrokinetics had significantly increased the axial load capacity of the model and the increases were proportional to the energy consumption. In tests with the same energy consumption and different voltages, the increases in the load capacity were found to be similar. The maximum axial load capacity after the treatment was 336 N compared to 19 N in the control test.
RÉSUMÉ: Une étude expérimentale a été réalisée pour étudier l'effet de la consommation d'énergie sur la capacité de charge axiale d'un modèle de fondation dans l'argile molle. Les tests ont été effectués dans quatre cellules identiques traitement électrocinétique et tensions continues entre 5 et 20 V avec un courant intermittent et continu. Les résultats montrent que électrocinétique a considérablement augmenté la capacité de charge axiale du modèle et les augmentations ont été proportionnelles à la consommation d'énergie. Dans des essais sur la consommation d'énergie et même des tensions différentes, l'augmentation de la capacité de charge ont été jugés similaires. La capacité de charge axiale maximale après le traitement était de 336 N par rapport à 19 N dans le test de contrôle. 1 INTRODCUTION
