The invention belongs to the technical field of
civil engineering, and relates to multifunctional electro-osmotic strengthening equipment for
soft clay and a testing method. The equipment consists of a main body part I and a measuring part II, wherein the main body part I comprises a
sample chamber, solution chambers, electrodes, a conduit and a cover plate; the measuring part II comprises a power source, a conducting wire and an
ammeter. The invention provides a testing device for simultaneously reaching strengthening of electro-osmotic drainage and strengthening of electro-osmotic injection of
saline solutions of the
soft clay. Different solution conditions are provided in an
anode solution chamber to meet research requirements on different soil samples and different electro-osmotic strengthening methods; by measurement of potential distribution, current and temperature of samples and adoption of a
control variable method, the research on electro-osmotic strengthening requiring simultaneously considering multi-field change is realized. The equipment can be applied to further research pertinently on electro-osmotic strengthening mechanism preferably.
