Monte Carlo molecular modelling simulations were performed to investigate the swelling and shrinking behaviour of hydrated Wyoming-type montmorillonite (MMT) including different counterions. MCY, TIP4P, and SPC/E water and potential models were employed to Li- and Na-montmorillonite. The simulation data with the SPC/E water model fitted the experimental swelling curves. The agreement between our results...
Expansive clay soils are extensively distributed worldwide, and are a source of great damage to infrastructure and buildings. These soils can cause heavy economic losses, as well as being a source of risk to the population. This article presents an experimental study in the stabilization of an expansive soil, consisting of the reduction of its swelling capacity and the improvement of its mechanical...
