13 p, 1.2 MB Hydro-mechanical and chemical-mineralogical analyses of the bentonite buffer from a full-scale field experiment simulating a high-level waste repository / Dueck, Ann (Clay Technology AB) ; Johannesson, Lars-Erik (Clay Technology AB) ; Kristensson, Ola (Clay Technology AB) ; Olsson, Siv (Clay Technology AB) ; Sjöland, Anders (Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co)
The effect of exposure to repository-like conditions on compacted Wyoming bentonite was determined by comparing the hydraulic, mechanical, and mineralogical properties of samples from the bentonite buffer of the Canister Retrieval Test (CRT) with those of reference material. [...]

12 p, 464.8 KB Hydraulic characteristics of bentonite cake fabricated on cutoff walls / Nguyen, The-Bao (Korea University, Anam-Dong. School of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering) ; Lee, Chulho (Korea University, Anam-Dong. School of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering) ; Lim, Jeehee (Korea University, Anam-Dong. School of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering) ; Choi, Hangseok (Korea University, Anam-Dong. School of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering)
Bentonite cake is usually formed on the excavated trench surface that is supported by the bentonite slurry during construction of slurry cutoff walls. The lower hydraulic conductivity of bentonite cakes formed during construction of slurry cutoff walls in comparison to backfill materials provides an additional benefit. [...]

13 p, 734.2 KB Diffusion of calcium chloride in a modified bentonite : Impact on osmotic efficiency and hydraulic conductivity / Mazzieri, Francesco (Università Politecnica delle Marche. Department of FIMET) ; di Emidio, Gemmina (Ghent University. Technologie Park. Laboratory of Geotechnics) ; van Impe, Peter O. (Ghent University. Technologie Park. Laboratory of Geotechnics)
Chemically modified bentonites are being developed with the aim of preserving low hydraulic conductivity in the presence of potentially aggressive permeants in pollutant-containment applications. "Multiswellable" bentonite (MSB) has been obtained by treating standard sodium bentonite with propylene carbonate. [...]

The evolution of lignified xylem allowed for the efficient transport of water under tension, but also exposed the vascular network to the risk of gas emboli and the spread of gas between xylem conduits, thus impeding sap transport to the leaves. [...]

Relatively anisohydric species are predicted to be more predisposed to hydraulic failure than relatively isohydric species, as they operate with narrower hydraulic safety margins. We subjected co-occurring anisohydric Juniperus monosperma and isohydric Pinus edulis trees to warming, reduced precipitation, or both, and measured their gas exchange and hydraulic responses. [...]
