Gas permeability of a compacted bentonite–sand mixture: coupled effects of water content, dry density, and confining pressure

The gas-tightness of compacted bentonite–sand mixtures is important to the total sealing efficiency of geological repositories. The initial aim of this work was to determine whether the combination of a high confining pressure (P c ) and incomplete saturation could cause a bentonite–sand mixture to...
