Earth-dam failure starts with cracking in the clay core, and this cracking is not easy to detect
and prevent. Therefore, swellable clay is a feasible solution, which helps to close the cracks …

Compacted sand–expansive clay mixture with low hydraulic conductivity and appropriate
shear strength is employed as liner systems for waste containment systems to prevent …

This paper presents an experimental investigation performed to evaluate the soil water
characteristic curves of sand/Al-Qatif clay mixtures. Al-Qatif clay is natural expansive clay …

Experiments conducted over a 4 year period, on a polymer-enhanced bentonite–sand
mixture (PEBSM) used as cover for gold mine tailings are reported. The effect on PEBSM …

This study investigated shear strength behaviour of compacted sand–clay mixtures used as
liners, with 10%, 20%, and 30% clay contents. A natural high-plasticity and highly expansive …

A method to predict the swellability of clay-sand mixtures is proposed. This model is a
modified form of the Studds (1997) prediction model for clay-sand mixtures. The new …

The hydraulic and chemical properties of a polymer-enhanced bentonite–sand mixture
(PEBSM) used as cover over calcium (Ca)-rich soil for 4 years is evaluated based on a …

Different regions around the world are encountering oil pollution due to many reasons such
as leakage of oil due to tanker accidents, transportation on land and sea, and during the …

In 1962, geosynthetic clay liners is developed by Arthur G. Clem. GCLs are also popular as
clay blankets, bentonite mats, and prefabricated bentonite clay blankets. Geosynthetic clay …

Dans ce présent travail, nous nous sommes intéressés à la modification de la bentonite de
Mostaganem par plusieurs méthodes qui sont la modification par échange cationique …
