This study presents the effect of high plasticity on swell potential, swelling pressure and
micro-structural characteristics of kaolinite-bentonite mixed clays. Five different mix ratios of …

Sand-bentonite-cement are commonly used as cut-off walls to isolate polluted soils or in
ground improvement technologies and as retaining structures as secant pile wall. In this …

Dams are rarely built on non-permeable lands, therefore usually reservoir leakage from dam
foundations cause major problems for large dams which affect dams performances. One …

The efficiency of green sand mould determines the process performance of sand casting. It
is important to have a high flowability level of the green sand to ensure a well-distributed …

Soils at the ground surface experience multiple cycles of drying and wetting. On drying, the
soils experience shrinkage and cracks may appear. The development of cracks depends on …

In recent years, the crack accidents of earth and rockfill dams occur frequently. It is urgent to
study the tensile strength and tensile failure mechanism of the gravelly soil in the core for the …

This study evaluated the performance of bentonite plasticized concrete with good
deformation coordination as a road base material, to address the poor deformation …

Shear strengths of silty soil were determined for shallow destruction of the soil sites
frequently occurring in the Central Plains area. Specimens were prepared with five different …

Various factors, including the thermal stabilization and the presence of chemicals such as
bentonite for the protection of nuclear waste lead to the exposure of clay soil to the heat …

In the design construction of infrastructural projects comprised of geotechnical applications,
including composite soil fill layers, compacted sand-clay soil fills are widely preferred as …
