An experiment is designed to test the value that avoids the problem of the time-consuming, traditional method to test clay seepage deformation. The experimental system and the process of testing are introduced in this paper. With a self-designed experimental system and method, 18 groups of sample were tested. The results show that the clay thickness and the seepage paths influence the anti-permeability strength. It also indicates that water infiltrates into the clay under the condition that its pressure exceeds a minimum value (P0).20152018-06-15 13:57:17Znanstveno delo70851ISSN: 1854-0171UDK: 552.523OceCobissID: 215987712COBISS_ID: 284295168ISSN pri članku: 1854-0171NUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:1NX5EAMEslFakulteta za gradbeništvo, prometno inženirstvo in arhitekturo Univerze v Mariboru
