Swell Behavior of Expansive Soil with Free Lateral Movements
Expansive soils are characterized by volume increase upon saturation. Extensive damages to structures may occur as a result of soil heave. Prediction of field expansion is essential prior to foundation construction. Experimental tests using oedometer equipment are used to predict field swell. Howeve...
