The Swelling Behaviour of Clays
TL;DR: In contrast to the Atterberg liquid limit and the rheological behaviour of aqueous clay suspensions, the charge at the edge of the clay particle seems to have little influence on the shear strength as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bentonite as a containment barrier for the disposal of highly radioactive wastes
Felix Bucher,Max Müller-Vonmoos +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the functions of this bentonite backfill are described and some investigations of the important properties as swelling and water uptake are presented, in order for the radioactive material to leak out into the biosphere, water from the surrounding rock has to reach the steel canisters, and these have to be broken through by corrosion.

Swelling pressure calculated from mineralogical properties of a jurassic opalinum shale, switzerland
TL;DR: In this article, 19 drill core samples of lower Dogger opalinum shale from wells drilled in connection with a tunnel project near Brugg, northern Switzerland, were investigated and the mean value of the calculated swelling pressures was found to be of the same order of magnitude as the measured values, indicating that the technique can be used where cylindrical or rectangular spec- imens are not available for direct measurement.
