Electrokinetic (EK) treatment is a possible attractive way to speed up the consolidation of fine-grained dredged sediments. The effectiveness of this method depends on the complex physical–chemical interaction between soil particles, interstitial fluid and pollutants. This paper presents the experimental laboratory results obtained by inducing mechanical and EK consolidation in a fine-grained dredged material. Then, a finite-difference numerical code implemented by the authors able to solve the large and small strain consolidation equations (Lassec1), including the electro-osmotic flow, is described along with the theoretical simplifications adopted and the calibration procedure required. The experimental results have been numerically simulated, showing the ability of Lassec1 to reproduce the coupled mechanical and electrical consolidation processes, highlighting that under very low stress levels it is necessary to take into account the highly non-linear soil behaviour, and thus the large strain theory is...
