A set of unconventional electro-osmosis (EO) experiments using intermittent current was conducted on dredger fill samples from a land reclamation site at Liaoning Coast in China. This study focused on the quantitative evaluation of the use of EO to enhance the effect of surcharge preloading consolid...
