Microstructure and anisotropic swelling behaviour of compacted bentonite/sand mixture
Pre-compacted elements (disks, torus) of bentonite/sand mixture are candidate materials for sealing plugs of radioactive waste disposal. Choice of this material is mainly based on its swelling capacity allowing all gaps in the system to be sealed, and on its low permeability. When emplaced in the ga...
