Grimsel Training Centre: Engineered Barrier Systems (EBS) – BENTONITE properties and applications

This course aims to provide an opportunity to exchange key information and ideas on clay barrier research in order to support engineering designs.  Key physiochemical, geochemical and hydromechanical properties, as well as relevant analytical techniques and conceptual models, will be introduced.  The course includes on-site discussion of the large-scale experiments at the Grimsel Test Site (GTS) studying and demonstrating the performance of bentonite materials.
