Microstructure of smectite clays and engineering performance /
"This book explains the detailed function of clay-based engineered barriers, gives a number of examples of the design and construction of successful sites, and sets out conceptual and theoretical models for the prediction of their performance." "It begins by providing a scientific, gr...
