<p>The focus of this study is on potential damages to buildings resulting from expansive soils in Tanzania, particularly clay soils in Kibaha. For the fact that most of the affected structures are founded on expansive soils, a clear understanding of the behaviour ...

In this paper clay-rich sediments from the Kajjansi, Kitiko, Kitetika, and Ntawo valleys in central Uganda were analyzed for mineralogical and chemical composition, including the rare earth element (REE) contents.

Variations in the morphology of illitic clay minerals were observed in the Kamikita hydrothermal system for illitized smectite. Particle sizes and microtopographies were measured by transmission electron microscopy using Pt shadowing and Au decoration. Particle ...

This paper mainly concentrates on experience from the first group listed,<br>where swelling minerals are associated with weakness zones or gouges, that are faults, seams, leather joints, crushed rocks or other discontinuities. The experience of the authors ...

<p>The weathering of biotite-plagioclase gneiss was studied in a warm humid climate under good drainage conditions, in De Kalb County, Georgia.</p>

This study is concerned with the dispersion characteristics of montmorillonite, kaolinite, and illite clay minerals in waters of different hardness and the relation of these characteristics to the control of canal seepage by artificial sedimentation. The ...
