Errata for “Membrane Behavior of Model Soil-Bentonite Backfills” by Sang-Sik Yeo, Charles D. Shackelford, and Jeffrey C. Evans

The following correction should be noted.

In Fig. 11, the total unit weight for the backfill $(17.5\mathrm{kN}∕{\mathrm{m}}^3)$ was incorrectly used to convert the consolidation stress (kPa) to the depth (m) in the backfill. Because the consolidation stress is an effective stress, the buoyant unit weight $(7.7\mathrm{kN}∕{\mathrm{m}}^3)$ should have been used. The corrected Fig. 11 is shown below.
