Seawater effects on properties of bentonite cut-off walls with/without cement addition by Li, Wentao, Ting, Matthew Zhi Yeon, Qin, Junde, Yi, Yaolin

“…Results show that the cation exchange between seawater and bentonite leads to alterations in montmorillonite type and particle arrangement. This leads to a significantly reduced liquid limit and a slightly decreased plastic limit of bentonite, therefore narrowing the range of workable water content for bentonite-sand mixtures. …”
