Description

Expansive soil occurs in many parts of the world particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. These soils undergo volumetric changes upon wetting and drying, thereby causing ground heave and settlement problems. Cracking associated with the shrinkage is of concern for embankment and earth-dam stability. This leads to considerable construction defects if not adequately taken care of. Such soils are considered natural hazards and pose challenges to civil engineers.

PRE-REQUISITE :Nil

INDUSTRY SUPPORT :Civil Engineering companies working in the area of infrastructure development and ground improvement

INTENDED AUDIENCE :PG students, researchers, design and site engineers
