  • Abstract A series of permeability tests was performed on the mixtures with specific mixing rates of sand and bentonite using modified rigid-wall permeameter. Sand-bentonite mixtures were permeated by organics, ethanol and TCE. Permeability of bentonite with several mixing rates had a tendency to decrease up to initial one pore volume and permeability was thereafter converged to a constant value. When sand-bentonite mixtures was permeated by water, permeability was decreased at the beginning but it was thereafter converged to a constant. Among several mixing rates, permeability was greatly decreased at 15% of mixing rate. When sand-bentonite mixtures with 15% mixing rate was permeated by ethanol, permeability was about 10 times larger value than permeability of water. Peameability was shown greater values when permeated by TCE (TrichloroEthylene) followed by ethanol. Suitable mixing rate of sand-bentonite for a liner of waste landfills was detected.

  • Evaluation of permeability and coefficient of consolidation of clayey sand is critical to analyze ground stability or environmental problems such as diffusion and dispersion in groundwater flow. Permeability tests using a flexible wall permeameter were performed to derive the coefficient of consolidation and permeability of reconstituted soil samples with various mixing ratios of kaolin clays and two different types of sands, Jumunjin sand and Ottawa sand. The test results indicated that coefficient of consolidation and permeability in log scale have linear relationships with clay contents in low clay mixing ratio. It is also recognized that coefficient of consolidation and permeability of sand and clay mixture are also dependent on the soil structure.

  • Important factors in a casting mold are strength at the mold surface and gas permeability of the mold. This study investigates the effects of pre-pressure and sand particle hardness on gas permeability, with a constraint that the norm of a stiffness array at the mold surface should be higher than a certain value. The constitutive relation is obtained using a hypoplasticity model. This study is firstly attempted to investigate sand behavior in mold fabrication, and will give a theoretical base for fabricating better molds.

  • Sand pile method, such as sand drain method and sand compaction pile method, has been popularly used as an improvement method for soft clay grounds. The effect of accelerating consolidation of soft clay grounds has been evaluated with Barron's solution. By the way, the consolidation behavior of soft clay ground with sand piles strongly depends on both the nonlinear mechanical interaction between sand piles and surrounding clays and the degradation permeability of clays. In this paper, the method for determining consolidation parameters of soft clay ground with sand drains by using Barron's solution was proposed, through a series of numerical simulations. Through the method, the change in both volume compressibility and permeability during consolidation was reasonably evaluated.

  • The use of oyster shells is proposed as a substitute construction material for geotechnical applications. To investigate recycling possibility as a substitute of sand compaction pile (SCP) for oyster shells, the geotechnical characteristics including permeability and shear strength of crushed oyster shell, sand and crushed oyster shell-sand mixted soil. Experimental results show that the crushed oyster shells are lighter than sand in weight, and have similar characteristics on permeability to sand. The results of direct shear test show that the measured value of friction angle ${\Phi}$ of crushed oyster shell was lager than that of sand. It would be expected that more angular particles (crushed oyster shells) would interlock more thoroughly than rounded particles (send).

  • Compressibility and permeability properties are the most important input parameters necessary to assess the suitability of core materials in seepage control system construction. To achieve this objective, an experimental investigation was conducted in the laboratory. For the bentonite-soil/sand mixes, consolidation and permeability tests were carried out in the conventional consolidation cell, 6Omm in diameter and 2Omm in height, was modified to perform a falling head type permeability test. From the results, the normalized relationship with respect to void ratio at liquid-limit state $(e_L)$, and the changes of compressibility and permeability for various bentonite-soil/sand mixes were presented. This approach will be helpful in proportioning mixes and predicting corresponding changes in engineering behavior. And it is possible to proportion a mix to arrive at the required compressibility without affecting the permeability.

  • In this study, the coefficient of permeability for cement mixtures including the powdered sludge of basalt, sand or fly ash with different mixed ratios was measured in order to reuse the powdered sludge of basalt in Jeju Island as the cut off materials. As the permeability test results, the coefficient of permeability for the cement mixtures with fly ash was increased with increasing the fly ash contents. The amount of fly ash in the cement mixtures should be mixed with less than 8 %. Meanwhile, the coefficient of permeability for the cement mixtures with sand was increased with increasing the sand contents. The amount of sand in the cement mixtures should be mixed with less than 40 %. According to the comparison result of cement mixtures including fly ash or sand, it is more advantageous to put the sand into the cement mixtures, rather than mixing the fly ash.

  • When mixed with lime, sand-bentonite mixture is characterized by considerable hydraulic properties similar to natural pozzolans and may therefore be increased in the strength of sand-bentonite mixture. The present study reports that results obtained in a series of laboratory tests carried out using particular mixing ratio of lime-sand-bentonite with the aim of investigating physical characteristics, permeability and strength. The results were compared and analyzed according to hydration time and lime content. Test results showed that increasing of strength and decreasing of permeability by proper lime content. Curing for longer periods increased unconfined compressive strength of mixture. Based on results of the falling head permeability test, mixtures of lime content 3%, 6% and 9% were satisfied in using as liner after 8-day curing periods.

  • Permeability is the ability of a material to transmit fluid/gases. It is an important material property and it depends on mould parameters such as grain fineness number, clay, moisture, mulling time, and hardness. Modeling the relationships among these variable and interactions by mathematical models is complex. Hence a biologically inspired artificial neural-network technique with a back-propagation-learning algorithm was developed to estimate the permeability of green sand. The developed model was used to perform a sensitivity analysis to estimate permeability. The individual as well as the combined influence of mould parameters on permeability were simulated. The model was able to describe the complex relationships in the system. The optimum process window for maximum permeability was obtained as 8.75-10.5% clay and 3.9-9.5% moisture. The developed model is very useful in understanding various interactions between inputs and their effects on permeability.
