Results from XRD are used to find the d-spacing of the clay interlayer with the maximum number of intercalated kerogen moieties into the clay interlayer for construction of representative clay-moiety models.
This reveals that water infiltration had taken place during that period (before the final concrete screen was installed in the central part of the dam, but after construction of the clay screen that was obviously not sufficient to inhibit water inflow).
The subsequent fi eld survey revealed characteristics of the burial construction and fragments of clay vessels.

Measurements recorded during construction of the Heathrow Express Trial Tunnel in London Clay were compared with the predicted values to validate numerical estimations.
While planning the lighthouse, he discovered the best mortar for underwater construction to be limestone with a high proportion of clay, and thus he was the first to recognize what constitutes a hydraulic lime.
The different types of lining systems are analyzed with emphasis on the design and construction requirements, and the properties and potential problems of clay liners, owing to the widespread use of clay as a landfill barrier.
Such rheological properties of clay minerals have great impact on building foundations, highway construction, chemical engineering, and soil structure in agricultural practices.
