Abstract
Fine-textured earth materials, such as clay or clayey sand and gravel, are potentially impervious to water. Sometimes, however, experience in the use of such material for watertight construction has been disappointing. In some cases, clay membranes placed with the greatest of care have been found to be semi-pervious and have failed to perform the function for which they were designed. This paper describes such an experience at Treasure Island, the site of the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco Bay, California, and the simple method in which the defect was remedied by utilizing an electro-chemical phenomenon of colloidal clay.
