Abstract: Desiccation of exposed clayey materials in cover layers of waste containment systems can ultimately result in the development of cracks that can promote the infiltration of rainwater and/or snowmelt, and escape of gases ...

Abstract: In order to understand the mechanism by which aqueous polymers improve the resistance of clayey barrier soils to stresses, it is important to precisely determine the quantity of polymer that is sorbed onto barrier soil ...

Abstract: In this paper, an

Abstract: Physicochemical interactions between polymer molecules and clay particles affect the swelling rate and magnitude of expansive clay soils. The effectiveness of aqueous solutions of three polymers: Sodium carboxymethyl ...
