Swelling Capacity and Hydraulic Conductivity of Polymer-Modified Bentonite under Saline Water Conditions

Bentonite is widely used as a waterproof material in civil engineering. The swelling capacity and impermeability will be reduced in saline water conditions. A polymer-modified bentonite was used in this study, and the swelling characteristic and hydraulic conductivity in saline water were investigat...
