Expansive soils cause more damage to light buildings and pavements than any other natural hazard, including earthquakes and floods. This book discusses the basics of expansive soils and their threats from a design perspective rather than a theoretical one. Further covered are both shallow and deep foundation designs, as well as soil remediation techniques backed up with numerous commercial and residential case studies. Ideal for students and engineers, this book also details commonly used laboratory tests and site investigation techniques used for establishing the physical properties of expansive soils.
