Swelling clays and salt-affected soils : demixing of Na / Ca clays as the rationale for discouraging the use of sodium adsorption ratio (SAR)
Sodium adsorption ratio SAR defined as SAR = (Na) / V w(Ca+Mg)/2 here concentrations of cations in solution are expressed in meq/L has long been considered as correlated to exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) on clay minerals or soil exchange complex, and as the key concept to explain swelling of...
