Expansive Soils

Essential technical information for building on expansive soils --complete with practical, proven design methods. Expansive Soils examines factors that influence the design of foundations and pavements built on expansive soils, and explores key design procedures and remedial measures that address these factors effectively.

Description

Expansive Soils, which shrink or swell under changing moisture conditions, cause more damage to structures, particularly light buildings and pavements, than any other natural hazard, including earthquakes and floods.

This book describes the engineering problems of foundations built on expansive soils. It presents techniques for dealing with the problems of construction and design and provides reliable, proven methods for building on expansive soils.
