Determining the Macrostructural Stability of Compacted Wyoming Bentonites by a Disaggregation Method

Determining the Macrostructural Stability of Compacted Wyoming Bentonites by a Disaggregation Method

The use of compacted bentonites in radioactive waste repository barriers is a relevant application of geoenvironmental engineering. The on-site structural characteristics of the bentonites determine the performance and integrity of the barrier. The present work addresses the adaptation of the standa...
