Clay behaviour is affected by coupled mechanical and chemical processes occurring in them at various scales. The peculiar chemical and electro-chemical properties of clays are the source of many undesired effects. These papers provide insight into the variables controlling clay behaviour.
Preface, Chapter I: Background of chemo-mechanical coupling in clay – The role of mineralogy, nano-structure and pore fluid composition, Chapter II: Chemical effects on swelling of clays, Chapter III: Chemical effects on clay compressibility, Chapter IV: Effects of solid–gas interaction, Chapter V: Electro-chemo-mechanical effects, Chapter VI: Applications to environmental, petroleum and nuclear waste disposal engineering, Author index
