Abstract
- 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 investigated. Results show that: the modified bentonite (MB) has good swelling characteristics and low permeability in saline water conditions; the unload swelling strain of MB in saline water conditions increased with rising swelling time; the final unload swelling strain of MB decreased with the increase of vertical pressure and increased with increasing initial dry density; and, as the swelling time increased, the swelling pressure increased rapidly at first and then decreased. Based on experimental results, this study obtained a linear relationship between the ratio of time to unload swelling strain and swelling time, a formula for load swelling strain that was related to initial dry density and vertical pressure, a linear relationship between the ratio of time to swelling pressure and swelling time, and an exponential relationship between swelling pressure and initial dry density. The MB can be used as a waterproof material in seepage-prone applications under saline environmental conditions in civil engineering works.
