Modelling Hydration Swelling and Weakening of Montmorillonite Particles in Mudstone

It is of paramount importance to understand the hydration swelling and weakening properties of clay minerals, such as montmorillonite, to determine their mechanical responses during deep underground argillaceous engineering. In this study, the mineral components and microscopic structure of mudstone...
