✦ Synopsis

Conductivity and permeability of model and natural clays have been studied experimentally. Local properties such as porosity and zeta potentials were measured as functions of the electrolyte solutions. Whenever possible, experimental data were compared to numerical data obtained for random packings of grains of arbitrary shape, and a good agreement was found between them.
