| description abstract | An experimental investigation of the durability of natural and polymer-amended Boston Blue Clay (BBC) used in waste containment applications was conducted. Durability was assessed in terms of hydraulic conductivity and crack formation in response to freeze-thaw- and desiccation-induced stresses. The polymers tested were nonionic polysaccharide (guar gum) and cationic polyacrylamide (PAM) with aqueous concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 8.00 g/L. BBC proved resistant to shrinkage cracks from desiccation, but susceptible to ice lensing from the application of freeze-thaw cycles. The saturated hydraulic conductivity of natural BBC increased from 5×10 | |
