Understanding Expansive Soils
Expansive soils, commonly referred to as shrink-swell soils, present one of the greatest challenges in construction. These soils contain clay minerals, such as montmorillonite, which expand when they absorb water and contract when they dry out. This continuous cycle of swelling and shrinking can cause significant structural damage to buildings, roads, and other infrastructure built on them.
