Low-Energy Clay–Cement Slurries Find Application as Waterproofing Membranes for Limiting the Migration of Contaminants—Case Studies in Poland

The purpose of this review was to present clay–cement suspensions that are mainly used in the construction and renovation hydrotechnical facilities flood protection. We characteristics slurries waterproofing barriers. One their significant components clays different types origins. Examples kaolin-type smectite-type clays, which associated minerals, as balanced presented. As mentioned, before hydration process, barriers suspended, main test methods rheometric measurements. Their rheological parameters, extremely important from point view injection mechanics, shown. higher flow limit faster reconstruction thixotropic structures, energy input processes. After it is form agglomerates seal barrier; therefore, we a summary strength results, filtration coefficients microscopic images resulting structures. Additional properties such terms limiting contaminant migration indicated. aspects affecting use liquid application methods; thus, low-energy slurry also
