... performance. In this study, the deformation and transport responses of clayey soils under thermo–mechanical–chemical ( TMC ) coupling are investigated using a previously benchmarked one-dimensional coupled numerical model. Soil settlement behaviour and clay liner performance are analysed under single (T, M...

... ; Nataraja and Nalanda, 2008). A recent comprehensive review was presented by Ibrahim et al. (2022) . Despite the extensive literature on industrial by-products, research into soil-based CLSM, particularly using marine clays, remains limited. While some researchers have successfully produced CLSM...

...Séverine Levasseur; Jean Talandier; Paul Marschall In many countries, geological disposal facility is considered as an option for the long-term management of radioactive waste. In the French, Swiss, and Belgian concepts, clays have been selected as suitable host formations. Considerable amounts...

...Fatih Polat; Tuğçe Özdamar Kul; A. Hakan Ören Bentonite is a critical component of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) because of its low hydraulic conductivity. However, bentonite can migrate within the GCL roll while transporting and installing the GCL . Thus, the bentonite mass per unit area...

..., as the highest matric suction of soil occurs during the first cycle. The vertical confining pressure is shown to limit the impact of drying–wetting cycles on the hydromechanical properties of soil effectively because of its restricting effects on the volumetric deformation of soil during the cycles. clays...

...Muataz M. Al-Moadhen, PhD; Barry G. Clarke, PhD; Xiaohui Chen, PhD This paper presents the results of the electrical conductivity measurements of sand–clay mixtures that were formed of three types of sands and five pure clays and prepared with water of low salinity. The results show...

... as the biochar-induced nucleation (MICP-BIN) method for reinforcing clay soil. Corn stover biochar was employed as an auxiliary material, mixed with dry clay powder, and subsequently reinforced using the MICP technique. Direct shear tests, drying experiments, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy...

.... This suggested that the clay content should be considered when predicting contaminant transport through clay-containing soils. Despite the prevalence of fine-contained soils in the subsurface, there is currently no comprehensive understanding of the α_L for such soils. Because fines (silt...
