Abstract | The chemistry of pore water plays an important role on the hydraulic and mechanical properties of compacted bentonite used as buffer/backfill material in the repository of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). In this study, a series of compacted GMZ bentonite specimen with a dry density of 1.7 Mg/m$^{3}$ were prepared and initially saturated with NaCl solutions of different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mol/L), respectively. The drying process was brought forward on the specimens through increasing their suction by using vapor phase technique. During the drying process, the cracking behavior of the specimens was observed; the volume shrinkage and the water retention characteristics (WRCs) were investigated with the consideration of the chemistry. The results obtained show that the compacted specimen initially saturated with distilled water was observed with cracking when its suction increased to 82 MPa and others were found to crack off as their suctions increased to 139 MPa, while no cracks could be observed for the specimens below the suction of 82 MPa. For the confined specimens, volume shrinkage occurred with increase of the suction, accordingly changing their porosity; the void ratio of the specimens decreased as the suction of the soil increased and increased with the chemistry of the pore water. Meanwhile, the chemistry of the pore water has more significant impact on the WRCs of the specimens at a lower suction. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
