Hydraulic conductivity of Na bentonite as a function of dry density determined from the rate of consolidation

摘要

The paper describes the laboratory experiments during which bentonite permeability was determined. The coefficient of hydraulic conductivity was calculated from the results of one-dimensional consolidation tests. As the objective was to find out the relationship between the coefficient of hydraulic conductivity and dry density, classical oedometers and a special chamber allowing high pressures to reach high values of dry density were used.
