Strength deterioration mechanism of bentonite modified loess after wetting-drying cycles. [PDF]
Abstract The employment of bentonite modified loess (BML) is a common method of constructing the anti-seepage lining of landfills in the loess region of China, and its long-term secure performance is threatened by wetting-drying (W-D) cycles.
