Membrane behavior in clays is a coupled phenomenon that results in solute restriction and
chemico-osmosis. Thus, the containment function of engineered clay-based barriers used …

Extensive research conducted over the past several decades has indicated that
semipermeable membrane behavior (ie, the ability of a porous medium to restrict the …

Most of the experimental research conducted to date has provided evidence on the
semipermeable membrane behaviour of smectite-rich clay soils, the extent of which is …

Coupled fluid, chemical, heat, and electrical flows are common phenomena that are relevant
to a wide variety of applications in Geotechnical Engineering, including the use of …

The potential for membrane behaviour of a chemically modified bentonite (MSB) is
evaluated. Test results showed that MSB exhibited initial membrane behaviour. However …

Contaminant flow parameters are commonly derived from experimental results using
analytical solutions to the well-known advection-dispersion-reaction equation or ADRE. The …

ABSTRACT A numerical formulation for two-dimensional electro-osmotic consolidation in
soft clays was derived from the basic equations of fluid flow, current flow and virtual work …
