Abstract:Researchers have underscored the importance for a pipeline to safeguard against adverse effect resulting from its displacement in vertical, axial and lateral directions due to the low shear strength of the soil. Seabed may sometimes consist of soft or very soft clay soil with high water content and low shear strength. Dissipation of the water content from the soil void increases its effective stress with a resultant increase in the soil shear strength. Electro-kinetic (EK) concept has been applied to increase … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
