  2. Marine clay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_clay

    Marine clay can be densified by mixing it with cement or similar binding material in specific proportions. Marine clay can be stabilised using wastes of various industries like porcelain industry and tree-cutting industries. This method is usually adopted in highways where marine clay is used as a subgrade soil. [citation needed]

  3. Porosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porosity

    For example: clays typically have very low hydraulic conductivity (due to their small pore throat radii) but also have very high porosities (due to the structured nature of clay minerals), which means clays can hold a large volume of water per volume of bulk material, but they do not release water rapidly and therefore have low hydraulic ...

  4. Pore structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_structure

    Micro CT of porous medium: Pores of the porous medium shown as purple color and impermeable porous matrix shown as green-yellow color. Pore structure is a common term employed to characterize the porosity, pore size, pore size distribution, and pore morphology (such as pore shape, surface roughness, and tortuosity of pore channels) of a porous medium.

    [36] [37] [38] It consists of pure clay, without any mixture of ingredients. [36] Bentonite clay is available worldwide as a digestive aid; kaolin is also widely used as a digestive aid and as the base for some medicines. Attapulgite, another type of clay, is an active ingredient in many anti-diarrheal medicines. [26]

  7. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

    Clay soils also resist wind and water erosion better than silty and sandy soils, as the particles bond tightly to each other, [14] and that with a strong mitigation effect of organic matter. [ 15 ] Sand is the most stable of the mineral components of soil; it consists of rock fragments, primarily quartz particles, ranging in size from 2.0 to 0. ...

  8. Quick clay - Wikipedia

    The effect leads to a destabilization of the clay aggregates structure. In case of insufficient mechanical compaction of the clay layer, and with a shear stress , the weaker EDL compression by the salts in the quick clay results in clay particle repulsion and leads to their realignment in a structure that is weaker and unstable.

  9. Tortuosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortuosity

    Tortuosity calculation from an x-ray tomography reconstruction of a porous sandstone (the pores are shown): [9] the color represents the shortest distance within the pore space from the left limit of the image to any point in the pores. Comparing this distance to the straight-line distance shows that the tortuosity is about 1.5 for this sample.
