      Compacted granular mixtures of high-density bentonite pellets have been evaluated as an alternative buffer material to fill the empty space around nuclear waste disposal canisters in horizontal drifts. Despite the obvious ...
    • Small strain shear moduli of unsaturated natural and compacted loess 

      Ng, C. W. W.; Kaewsong, R.; Zhou, C.; Alonso Pérez de Agreda, Eduardo (Thomas Telford, 2017-07)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Suction and microstructure play critical roles in the mechanical behaviour of loess, yet their effects on small strain (from 0·001 to 1%) shear moduli are not fully understood. In this study, shear moduli of loess with ...
