Abstract Summary
Effect of temperature on the behaviour of bentonite in the presence of NaCl and CaCl2 were studied. After heating the bentonite samples were at 300 and 400 C for 24 hours and then various tests were conducted in the presence of various concentration of NaCl and CaCl2 solution. The heated samples were analyzed for their swelling, liquid limit, hydraulic and compressibility characteristics. The results showed that the heating had a definite effect on the behaviour of the bentonite.
