      A formulation is proposed for reproducing the hydro-mechanical behaviour of compacted bentonites as interaggregate porosity becomes negligible. In that case, the model assumes the bentonite deformability to be controlled ...
    • Determining the macrostructural stability of compacted wyoming bentonites by a disaggregation method

      El diseño y construcción de almacenamientos de residuos tóxicos en formaciones geológicas poco permeables requiere disponer de herramientas que permitan predecir el comportamiento a largo plazo del sistema. Por ello, es ...
    • Secondary compression of clays as a local dehydration process 

      Navarro, Vicente; Alonso Pérez de Agreda, Eduardo (Institution of Civil Engineers (http://www.ice.org.uk/), 2001)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Long-term volumetric deformations of clays are interpreted in terms of water transfer from clay aggregates to the bulk water. Chemical potentials for the two states of water are first derived and then integrated into balance ...
