The paper summarizes the main phenomenological aspects of swelling in tunnels excavated in sulphate claystones and formulates a series of theoretical consideration for their coupled hydro-mechanical-chemical analysis. The ...

The wide range of gypsum facies observed all over the world and the strong heterogeneity that may be present even within a single facies often cause an inhomogeneous mechanical response that, if neglected, may be particularly ...

This study evaluates the expansivity of fine recycled aggregates mortars depending on the type of Portland cement, the consistency and the equivalent of acid soluble sulphates (SO3) content. For that, an experimental ...

L’objectiu principal d’aquest treball és la identificació i qualificació dels guixos d’aquestes dues comarques. Així mateix, l'objectiu de l'estudi és conèixer els principals llocs de guix d'interès des del punt de vista ...

Geological CO2 sequestration at pilot-plant scale will be developed at Hontomin (Spain). CO2 will be injected into a limestone reservoir that contains a NaCl- and sulfate-rich groundwater in equilibrium with calcite and ...

The sustained heave of Pont de Candí Bridge is a consequence of the development of swelling strains in the sulphated claystone located below the tips of the foundation piles of the central pillan; of the bridge. The ...

The traditional gypsum of Albarracín is probably the only one currently marketed in Spain. In the Pyrenees of Lleida, specifically in the regions of Pallars Jussá and Pallars Sobirá, the traditional constructions are carried ...

It In the region of La Segarra, in the province of Lleida (Spain), there is a geological formation of the Oligocene age, called the "Talavera Gypsum Formation". The traditional buildings located in this area are built with ...
