A method for the stabilisation of soils and restoration of any collapses |
(57) A method for the consolidation of soils and buildings subject to drainage and/or
removal of the water-bearing stratum, provides for the use of electrosmosis to obtain
the cessation of the drainage and the reconstitution of the water-bearing stratum
by recalling the stratum itself or constituting and maintaining an artificial stratum.
Preferably, a set of negative electrodes and a set of positive electrodes are positioned
in the soil, in such a way that connecting the two sets of electrodes to a power supply
the electrical field thus applied causes the interruption of the outflow of water
and the inversion of the direction of motion of the water with the recall of the water
itself.
