Contaminant containment measures are often necessary to prevent or minimize offsite
movement of contaminated materials for disposal or other purposes when they can be …

The hydraulic conductivity of calcium and sodium bentonites was investigated for sand-
bentonite mixtures, a thin bentonite layer simulating a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL), and …

Soil pollution is one of the major threats to the environment and jeopardizes the provision of
key soil ecosystem services. Vertical barriers, including slurry trench walls and walls …

This study investigated the hydraulic conductivity and microscopic properties of two backfills,
conventional sand/bentonite (SB) and sand/xanthan gum (XG)-amended bentonite/sand …

Liquid-soil compatibility of soil hydraulic conductivity is reviewed with respect to the
materials and methods used in evaluating waste-soil interactions, factors influencing …

Diffusion of contaminants can play a significant if not dominant role in many applications
encountered within the field of environmental geotechnics. The objective of this paper is to …

The swell behavior of expansive soils may be desirable as in many hydraulic containment
applications or unfavourable and may cause major deterioration and distresses in many …

Compression test results of kaolinite with water and nine organic fluids of a wide range of
dielectric constants are presented in this paper. As the dielectric constant was increased …

This paper presents a laboratory experimental investigation on the membrane behavior and
diffusion properties of sand/sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP)-amended bentonite …

The consolidation behavior and hydraulic conductivity (k) of nine backfill mixtures modeling
those used for soil-bentonite (SB) vertical cutoff walls are evaluated. The backfills include …
