Influence of salt solutions on the swelling pressure and hydraulic conductivity of compacted GMZ01 bentonite
TL;DR: In this article, the salinity effects of infiltrating solutions on the swelling pressure and hydraulic conductivity of GMZ01 bentonite samples were investigated, which has an initial dry density of 1.70 mg/m3, with de-ionized water as well as NaCl and CaCl2 solutions at different concentrations.

Enhancement of physical weathering of building stones by microbial populations
TL;DR: In this paper, two limestones from Crete, Greece and a dolomite from Mansfield, UK were subjected to combined microbial and physical weathering simulation cycles, in an attempt to assess the contribution of each agent of decay.

Utilization of bentonite-embedded zeolite as clay liner
Abidin Kaya,Seda Durukan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the hydraulic conductivity of BEZ with different bentonite content was investigated for possible use as barrier material, as an alternative to bentonite-embedded sand (BES).

Generation and stability of bentonite colloids at the bentonite/granite interface of a deep geological radioactive waste repository.
TL;DR: The coagulation kinetics of natural bentonite colloids was experimentally studied as a function of the ionic strength and pH, by means of time-resolved light scattering techniques and it has been shown that these colloids are very stable in low saline and alkaline waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of experiments to evaluate clay swelling inhibition by different combinations of organic compounds and inorganic salts for application in water base drilling fluids
TL;DR: In this paper, the synergistic behavior that occurs when three different cationic inhibitors for clay swelling were associated with brines containing NaCl and KCl was evaluated and the results showed different efficiencies, in other words, inhibitors mixed with brine were more effective than the inhibitors alone.

Structure and strength characteristics of compacted clays.
H. B. Seed,Clarence K. Chan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of soil structure on shrinkage, swelling, swell-pressures, stress-deformation characteristics, undrained strength, pore-water pressures and effective strength characteristics is described and examples of the relationships between composition and the 'as-compacted' strength of compacted clays are presented.
