Study of Shear Strength Behaviour of Soil With Kaolinite Mixture
Abstract: An experimental testing program was undertaken for evaluating the effect of kaolinite on the strength properties of locally available sand and soil. Strength depends principally upon the content of (1) water, (2) clastic materials and (3) plastic materials. Soils are primarily of two types (1) cohesionless soils in which the strength this produced mainly by the friction of clastic particles against one another, and (2) cohesive soils in which the …

Properties of Bentonite Stabilised with Fluorogypsum
Abstract: This paper presents the properties of the bentonite stabilised with fluorogypsum. For this purpose, commercially available bentonite and fluorogypsum were used in this investigation. The fluorogypsum content and the curing period were varied from 0% to 10 % and 0 to 28 days respectively. Compaction tests results reveal that the maximum dry unit weight increases and optimum moisture content decreases with the increase in the fluorogypsum content to the bentonite. …

Hazard Testing and Decomposition of Nuclear Wastes
Abstract: Nuclear garbage disposal is simple and may be done practically any place in a safe manner. Used fuel is typically stored for at least five years under water and subsequently in dry storage. The best solution for eventual disposal of the most radioactive waste produced is deep geological disposal, according to most experts. Industries such as mining, nuclear power generating, defence, medicine, and certain forms of scientific research produce radioactive …
