Abstract:
Swelling and shrinking in soils occur as a result of the changes in volume of soil with the corresponding changes in the soil’s water content. The magnitude of swelling and shrinking is determined by the type and quantity of the clay minerals present in the soil. They are important from the point of view of structural engineers as well as for the agriculturalists due to their swell- shrink behaviour. Therefore, it is important to understand the soils showing swelling and shrinking behavaiour, the mechanisms behind the behaviour and the consequences due to them. This chapter gives a brief knowledge about the swelling and shrinkage phenomena in soils, their behaviour, the reasons behind their behaviour and the mechanisms responsible for it, as well as how to measure the swell-shrink potential of the soils.
