The use of clay barriers for waste-isolating purposes has gained
increasing attention in the geotechnical engineering community.
Practical interest is linked to fundamental research, which
includes examination of the behaviour of compacted materials and
expansive clays. The interaction between the barrier, waste and the
surrounding ground may involve several thermo-hydro-mechanical and
chemical-coupled processes that have been analyzed by means of 'in
situ' tests, laboratory experiments and numerical modelling.
Large-scale field tests have been developed in recent years by
European Agencies dealing with the management of radioactive waste.
These experiments have provided an opportunity to calibrate and to
validate research models and offer benefits in terms of experience
of instrumentation and installation techniques. The book includes
about sixty papers presented in a symposium held in Spain in 2003.
The four main topics of the book are: field emplacement and
instrumentation techniques; fundamental research, material
behaviour (i.e. bentonite), and laboratory testing; barrier
behaviour and THM modelling; and chemical effects, HC and THMC
modelling.
