ABSTRACT: A series of bench top tests were performed to investigate the effects of electromagnetic (EM) stimulation on various soil very fine sand and clay (bentonite) samples with very promising results. It was found that EM waves do indeed affect the hydraulic observed for the sandy sample while flow restriction was observed for the clayey sample.
RÉSUMÉ: Une série de tests dessus de banc ont été réalisées pour étudier les effets des champs électromagnétiques (EM) de stimulation sur les propriétés des sols différents. Tests exploratoires sur les effets de stimulation EM sur la conductivité hydraulique ont été réalisés sur un sable très fin et d'argile (bentonite) des échantillons avec des résultats très prometteurs. Il a été constaté que les ondes EM effectivement influer sur la conductivité hydraulique du sol. Un effet croissant sur la conductivité hydraulique proportionnelle à la puissance de la vague d'EM a été observée pour l'échantillon de sable tandis que la restriction de débit a été observé pour l'échantillon argileux. Keywords: Hydraulic Conductivity, Dipole Oscillation, Electromagnetic Stimulation
