Bentonite is commonly used as sealing material in seepage cut-off walls to minimize the permeability of sandy soil. To further reduce permeability and stabilize the sand-bentonite mixture, binders such as ordinary Portland cement (OPC) can be added. However, OPC can interact with bentonite and cause...
