LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS FOR MEASURING THE MOISTURE RETENTION CHARACTERISTICS OF MBT WASTE

SUMMARY: This presentation describes an investigation into the extent to which a simple experiment involving the drainage of a column of MBT waste material can be used to determine the relationships between the capillary pressure, p c(θ) or ψ(θ) and volumetric moisture content θ or degree of saturation (S r). The results from the drainage experiments have been interpreted
