Swelling suppression of black cotton soil by means of liquid immersion and surface modification

Although the surface organic modification of smectite has been investigated widely, the swelling behavior of clays has been scarcely studied with consideration of civil engineering applications. In this work a facile strategy of liquid-immersion (dilute H2SO4 aqeuous solution) was proposed, and the...
