Study on GMZ bentonite-sand mixture by undrained triaxial tests

Simulation of Stress-Strain Behavior of Saturated Sand in Undrained Triaxial Tests Based on Genetic Adaptive Neural Networks

This study applies artificial neural networks (ANN) to simulate the soil stress-strain relationship observed in test data from triaxial shear testing of saturated sand. A genetic algorithm is used to obtain an optimal framework for the ANN. The results show that the proposed genetic adaptive neural network (GANN) can effectively model undrained monotonic and cyclic triaxial behaviour of saturat...

Evaluation of undrained response from drained triaxial shear tests: DEM simulations and Experiments

Investigation on chemical effects on GMZ bentonite used as buffer materials

GMZ bentonite has been selected as a buffer/backfill material for the design of Chinese HLW repository due to its suitable properties. Investigations have been conducted on this material to have a better understanding of its engineering behavior. In this paper, a review of the studies on the chemical effects in GMZ bentonite is presented. The adsorption of radionuclides Ni(II), Cr(III) and Eu(I...
