Abstract
Chemical properties of clays are very important to the understanding of their behaviour. The electrical charge and colloidal size of clay mineral particles make them hydrate and interact so that their hydraulic conductivity and stress/ strain properties are quite different from those of sandy soil. Thermodynamics describes how systems change when they interact with each other and also with their surroundings. During the above mentioned interactions, how the energy transfer is controlled by the thermodynamic parameters, is to be studied here.
