Marine earth is found along the beach front areas of the world. This kind of dirt having uncommon properties like low shear quality and high compressibility. It was discovered that electrokinetic treatment is viable instrument in expanding the quality and expelling the pore water from mud. Electrokinetic geosynthetics (EKG) are recently created material which go about as terminals that readied by joining the electrokinetic marvels with elements of geosynthetics. The target of the work is to think about the dewatering effectiveness of EKG as cathode in marine dirt and the undrained shear quality. The different parameters contemplated are voltage(6V ,12V) and distinctive number of electrodes(1 anode and 2 anode with 10 cm spacing).The undrained shear quality of soil tests were considered when the treatment. The variety of current and opposition is additionally considered.
