Disclosed is a sludge three-dimensional electroosmosis drainage reinforcing method based on a novel electric geotextile complex, and belongs to the field of soft soil foundation reinforcement. A novel electric geotextile complex is adopted, and a designed multidirectional three-dimensional continuous electroosmosis drainage method is adopted to perform rapid drainage reinforcement treatment on sludge, wherein the electric geotextile complex is prepared by combining fibers and conductive materials with a flexible drainage plate and has the effects of electric conductive, drainage, corrosion resistance and reinforcement. The proposed drainage method can realize the electroosmotic drainage in vertical and horizontal directions. Through layer by layer electroosmosis from bottom to top, the consolidation drainage effect of sludge in the lower layer can be enhanced by the increasing loading pressure from the upper sludge. After the vertical electroosmosis is completed, the method of exchange electrode is used to conduct horizontal electroosmosis in opposite direction.

Methods of preparing cast-in-place geopolymer piles using electrical heating wire (130) to provide heat to cure the piles are described. The heating wire (130) can be associated with a reinforcement cage (120) inserted in the pile shaft. Rod-shaped heating units comprising electrical heating wire (130) can be inserted into a pile shaft and can be reusable. Geopolymer piles with high compressive strength can be prepared from mixtures of class F fly ash and aqueous sodium hydroxide by heating the piles with the heating wire to a stable curing temperature for at least about 24 hours.

A site is prepared for the installation of solar panels by preparing a ground area by smoothing or grading and contouring to provide a surface sufficiently level to permit resting the solar panels in direct contact with and supported on the ground so as to establish an azimuth-independent earth orientation of the solar panels. The soil is embossed in a pattern corresponding to a desired pattern by repeatedly stamping the soil in a pattern with a soil stamping device capable of impressing the desired pattern on the soil. The pattern is sized such that the solar panels fit into the impressed pattern resulting from the embossing of the soil.

The invention discloses a method for strengthening and widening subgrade with geocell based on conductive polymer, which belongs to the technical field of road construction. It includes the following steps: slope cutting and bench excavation for the existing embankment slope; leveling for the treated existing subgrade; filling and widening subgrade on the basis of the leveled existing subgrade; compacting the widened subgrade so that the compacted widened subgrade and the leveled existing subgrade are in the same plane; on the widened Subgrade The geocell based on the conductive polymer is tensioned and fixed for the first time; the geocell based on the conductive polymer is compacted to obtain the widened Subgrade of the geocell based on the conductive polymer. It can minimize the possibility of longitudinal cracks between the existing subgrade and the widened subgrade. In addition, it uses the conductivity of geocell based on conductive polymer to provide a material basis for monitoring the risk of cracks at the junction of the existing subgrade and the widened subgrade.
