Clay Fluid Interactions in Montmorillonite Swelling Clays: A Molecular Dynamics and Experimental Study
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Swelling clays cause tremendous amounts of damage to infrastructure. For the effective prevention of detrimental effects of these clays, and to optimize the beneficial properties for industrial applications it is necessary ... -
Initial Swelling Mechanism of Expansive Clays: A Molecular Dynamics Study
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Expansive soils are widely found in many parts of the world. Highly active smectite clay mineral Montmorillonite is the major constituent in these clays and can expand or contract up to 15 times of their original volume. ...
