Sealing Properties of Bentonite Suspensions*

Sealing with waterborne clays is a rapid and low cost method of controlling seepage through porous media whenever the clay source is within economical shipping distance of the sealing site. But more must be learned about this method of sealing before it can be fully utilized. Water impedance of waterborne bentonites, as measured by water loss in the filter press test, was correlated with their ...

Bentonite Clay as a Natural Remedy: A Brief Review

BACKGROUND From old times, the human kind has used clays, externally or internally, for maintaining body health or treating some diseases. Meanwhile there are few scientific articles reviewing the beneficial effects of clays on body function. Bentonite clay is one of the available clays in nature, used as traditional habits, and remedies in many cultures. METHODS These articles explored among...

Mechanical Properties of Plastic Concrete Containing Bentonite

Plastic concrete consists of aggregates, cement, water and bentonite, mixed at a high water cement ratio, to produce a ductile material. It is used for creating an impermeable barrier (cut-off wall) for containment of contaminated sites or seepage control in highly permeable dam foundations. The effects of water to binder ratio and clay dosage on mechanical properties of plastic concrete were i...

Experimental Studies on Concrete with Bentonite as Mineral Admixture

The present investigation deals with effect of bentonite clay on concrete. The concrete was produced by partial replacement of OPC with mineral admixture bentonite clay in percentages of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The M20 grade of concrete was designed. The compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength were found for the specimens. The present investigation is to study the e...
