Water Immersion Failure Mechanism of Dry Clods of Swelling and Non-swelling Clay
Pages 33-34
Details
Pages 33-34
Swelling is one of major causes of water immersion failure of a dry clod made of bentonite that is swelling clay, and its failure behavior in diluted solution and dense solution differs. Air pressure is another major cause of water immersion failure of dry clods made of kaolinite that is non-swelling clay.
