1. Environmental Soil Properties and Behaviour

   By Raymond N. Yong, Masashi Nakano, Roland Pusch

   From bridges and tunnels to nuclear waste repositories, structures require that soils maintain their design engineering properties if the structures are to reach their projected life spans. The same is true for earth dams, levees, buffers, barriers for landfills, and other structures that use soils...

2. Containment of High-Level Radioactive and Hazardous Solid Wastes with Clay Barriers

   By Raymond N. Yong, Roland Pusch, Masashi Nakano

   Series: Spon Research

   One of the principal objections to or problems with the use of nuclear fuel is that a proven method for safe disposal of spent nuclear fuel has yet to be established. The central focus of most schemes underway to dispose of these high-level radioactive wastes relies on clay-based buffers and...

3. Microstructure of Smectite Clays and Engineering Performance

   By Roland Pusch, Raymond N. Yong

   Series: Spon Research

   Certain wastes such as nuclear wastes, are so hazardous that their disposal creates a major challenge requiring considerable technical skill and understanding. Their effective isolation in the ground depends on the properties of the surrounding clays. This authoritative book explains the detailed...
