During the long-term operation of a deep geological repository, infiltration of groundwater
with different chemical compositions can affect the buffer/backfill properties of compacted …

The efficiency of typical chemical and mechanical soil stabilization techniques in mitigating
the swelling problem of an expansive soil is investigated through a comprehensive …

Phosphorus (P) deficiency in agricultural soil is a worldwide concern. P modification of
biochar, a common soil conditioner produced by pyrolysis of wastes and residues, can …

The effect of the salinity of the saturating fluid on the hydro-mechanical properties of the
FEBEX compacted bentonite was investigated by means of swelling, compressibility and …

Clay soils can exhibit excessive swelling due to changes in water content. The clay swelling
threatens the long-term stability of structures and foundations, thus an accurate prediction of …

This study presents results of an experimental program with respect to fiber's capacity of
mitigating the swelling behavior of an expansive soil. Two types of tape–shaped fibers, ie …

This study examines the combined capacity of rubber powder inclusion and polymer
treatment in solving the swelling problem of South Australian expansive soils. The rubber …

Self-sealing performance of compacted bentonite is the key to reduce the threat posed by
high-level radioactive waste in deep geological repositories to the geological environment …

This work presents an insight into double-structure effects on the coupled chemo-hydro-
mechanical behaviour of a compacted active clay. In the first part, selected pore size …

In this study, the effects of salinity of infiltrating solutions on the swelling strain,
compressibility, and hydraulic conductivity of compacted GMZ01 Bentonite were …
