Swell and microstructural characteristics of high-plasticity clay blended with cement (2019)
Journal Article
Abbey, S. J., Eyo, E. U., & Ngambi, S. (2020). Swell and microstructural characteristics of high-plasticity clay blended with cement. Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 79, 2119-2130. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10064-019-01621-z

This study presents the effect of high plasticity on swell potential, swelling pressure and micro structural characteristics of kaolinite-bentonite mixed clays. Five different combining ratios of kaolinite bentonite mixture of 100:0, 90:10, 75:25, 50... Read More about Swell and microstructural characteristics of high-plasticity clay blended with cement.
