Bentonite minimizes the seperation of water in cement – water mixture; When Bentonite added into cement slurry, it increases the diffusion degree in fine grained alluvion.

view moreThis paper provides an overview of the properties of clay-cement systems in their many applications, but is focused on the cement-bentonite clay slurries used in slurry trench cut-off walls. It particularly considers areas where it is believed that more research is required; but it also briefly reviews the basic behaviour and properties of ...
view moreThe aim of this study is to prepare a mix that can be used in impermeable fill as an alternative to clay which can sometimes be difficult to find. In the study, bentonite and cement were chosen as admixtures and sand was chosen as the main material. The main reason for choosing bentonite and cement as

If bentonite slurry is mixed first, the water-cement ratio cannot be controlled because the addition of cement must stop when the slurry thickens to a consistency that is still pumpable. Making cement-bentonite grout in the field is a straightforward process. The most effective mixing is done in a
view moreA soil-cement-bentonite slurry wall (SCB Wall) is constructed in much the same manner as a conventional soil-bentonite slurry wall (SB Wall) (Ryan 1985). A narrow trench is excavated under bentonite slurry, usually with a hydraulic excavator, although clamshells and other tools may be used.
