<p>There is a long-lasting interest in obtaining the effective hydraulic conductivity functions of soil mixtures. The few available models to obtain hydraulic conductivity of mixtures are mostly empirical and applicable for saturated conditions. We propose a simple physical model based on the effective medium theory to calculate the effective hydraulic conductivity of soil mixtures with two or more components. The model incorporates the volumetric content of each mixture component and their hydraulic conductivity to calculate the effective conductivity of the mixture. The results of the model were compared with the measured hydraulic conductivity data obtained from the simplified evaporation method using the Hyprop device. Samples were prepared by packing homogeneous mixtures of different soil textures in cylinders with a volume of 250 cm<sup>3</sup>. Packed soil mixtures were saturated and exposed to evaporation in a climate controlled laboratory with constant air temperature and humidity. The results show an acceptable match between the measured and modeled hydraulic conductivity of the tested soil mixtures. The model can be used as a physical way to describe the effective hydraulic conductivity of mixtures in a wide range of moisture.</p>

AbstractOne-dimensional swelling tests and hydraulic conductivity tests have been performed at vertical effective stresses up to 450 kPa on Na-bentonite powder and compacted sand/Na-bentonite mixtures (5, 10 and 20% bentonite by weight) to investigate the use of bentonite-improved soils for waste containment. It was found that bentonite powder swells to reach a final state described by a single straight line on a plot of void ratio against the logarithm of vertical effective stress, regardless of preparation technique. Swelling of sand/bentonite mixtures expressed in terms of the clay void ratio show a deviation from bentonite behaviour above a stress which depends on the bentonite content. Hydraulic conductivity data for bentonite and sand/bentonite mixtures indicate an approximately linear relationship between logarithm of hydraulic conductivity and logarithm of void ratio. A design model based on the clay void ratio, and the sand porosity and tortuosity is presented enabling the hydraulic conductivity of a mixture to be estimated.
