water mains, septic systems, etc. The amount of
swelling of a given soil is a function of the
initial water content and density, the confining
pressure, and the time available for swelling in
relation to the thickness of soil.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Bakron
The Federal Housing Administration (MHA) among other
responsibilities, insures mortgages on residential buildings
issued by comercial banks to private individuals. If the mort-
gagor defaults on his payments the FMA assumes ownership of the
residence and pays to the bank that portion of the mortgage which
is unpaid. In order to help keep losses to a minimum, the FRA
only insures mortgages on residences that meet certain standards
of quality and durability. These standards dictate that the
building must meet, among other things, a certain minimum design
and construction specification and must be constructed on foun-
dation soils that will not cause excessive damage to the struc-
ture.

changes in soils (both swelling and
shrinking) and the factors influencing

D. Nature of Report
This report is written so that a person with little knowl-
edge of soil engineering can understand the essential features. How-
ever, many of the important aspects of the problem of expansive, soils,
although complex, will be briefly discussed. Presented is a list of
selected references which will enable the reader to comprehend the
fundamentals of soil engineering or to delve more deeply into problems
only summarized in this report.

= effective or intergranular stress
which is the force transmitted be-
tween interacting Darticles per unit
of soil, and which can be well cor-
related with soil behavior.
"-5-
S= total external stress applied to soil.
-6-
Although volume changes due to swelling and shrinkage are
considered in terms of changes in effective stress, it is emphasized
that the physicochemical characteristics of a soil determine the
amount of volume change for a given effective stress change. In
other words, the greater the surface area of the clay (the smaller
the particles), the greater is the overall volume change per change
in particle spacing required to make ACR-A) equal to AZL.
C. Shrinkage of Soils
1. Mechanism
2. Behavior
- 7-
A remolded saturated clay starts drying from the volume
and water content conditions shown in Al. During the initial portion
of drying (A1 to B.), the volume change is governed by the equation
AV ( l-w (2)
0 1+1
I00 G
where
w1 = water content in per cent at AI,
V = water content in per cent,
G = specific gravity of soil solids.
- 8-
D. Swelling of Soils
1. Mechanism
a. General
The swelling behavior of soil is governed primarily (but
not solely) by the following factors (assuming that the soil is
- 9
given unlimited access to water):
- 10 -
2. For a constant dry density, the lower the water
content, the greater the amount of swell. The
effect is more pronounced at the higher densities.
10. See Taylor, 1948, for the theory governing time versus
consolidation.

C. Environment and Swelling
11. As a very general guide, water can rise to heights of 1, 10, and
100 feet above the water table in sands, silts, and clays respec-
tively; the different heights being inversely proportional to the
size of the pores in the soil.

2. The time required from equilibrium
(i.e., swelling stops) is often several
years (Dawson, 1953; Means, 1959).
3. The depth of desiccated soil in these
regions reaches 10 to 60 feet (Jennings,
1950; Wooltorton, 1954).
4. Some cyclic movements are observed, even
though the general trend is one of swell-
ing (Dawson, 1953).
5. There are several methods for dealing with
expansive soils (Jennings, 1955; Means,
1959; Dawson, 1959; Templer, 1958; Lange,
1958; McDowell, 1959; Boardman, 1958;
Holtz, 1959). These methods usually
involve treating the soil (proper com-
paction, removal, prewetting, etc.), placing
the structure on special foundations (piles,
mats, three point support, grade beams, etc.),
and/or using special types of structural
framing.

effective stress analysisl3 considering the weight of soil, the applied
loads, and the depth to the water table. Lambe and Whitman (1959) also
approach the problem with an effective stress analysis. McDowell (1956,
1959) saturate samples by capillary rise under a low pressure in a tri-
axial sell and then modifies the measured volume change to account for
one versus three dimension swelling and for the value of the surcharge
(by one set of curves of swell versus pressure assumed to hold for all
swelling rclays).
B. Empirical Approach
size, linear shrinkage, activity, free swell, swell under certain loads,
4
specific surface area, and water content at 85 per cent relative humidity.1
Of the above the Atterberg Limits are most commonly used. The FHA (Build-
ing Advisory Research Board, 1959) combines soil plasticity with climate
to arrive as a classification.
- 20 -
VI. LABORATORY TEST PROGRAM
A. Objectives and Background
15. There were no conclusive data on the field behavior of the soils
supplied by the F{A, although Mr. Henry furnished a general idea
of the behavior of some of the soils.
- 21 -
B. Testing Procedures
1. Soil Samples
- 22 -
Preparation of Samples: The samples were compacted in the
consolidometer rings at three different Relative water contents. The
Relative water content of a sample of soil refers to the relation be-
tween the actual water content of the sample and the water contents
(which might be called "standard" water contents) at which the soil
exhibits certain well-defined properties (such as at the Liquid Limit,
the Plastic Limit, the Shrinkage Limit, or the FHE ) or is in equilib-
rium with moist air having a certain R.H. (such as 100 per cent R.H.
or 50 per cent R.H.). The meaning of Relative water content is illus-
trated in Fig. 8, which shows the values of some "standard" water
contents of a given soil (wA, FME, W,ws, wvlO0 and w5 0) of which,
FME, vp, wlO0 and wv0 are of particular interest, and the water con-
tent values of four'samples (u, x, y, z) of this soil. Sample u has
a Relative water content halfway between wp and the FME, etc.
The three Relative water contents at which samples were
tested are termed Dry, Moist, and Wet and are equal to the following:

from the F.M.E.1 to the Shrinkage Limit. The activity has been
used to indicate the expansiveness of soils. AV/V approximates
the largest volume change likely to occur in the field from shrink-
age. The Atterberg Limits have also been plotted on a Plasticity
Chart in Fig. 9.
Figure 16 - SI vs. H.
- 24 -
Typical plots of time versus heave and pressure are presented in
1. Soils
At least two of the soils, Iredell clay and Houston Black clay, are
known to cause considerable trouble as foundation soils.
21. It is interesting to note that for the more plastic soils the
water content approximately doubles in going from the Dry to
the Moist and from the Moist to the Wet Relative water contents.
25 -
(3) The Plasticity Indices of soils are well
correlated with volume changes due to
shrinkage (Fig. 10). A good correlation
also exists between PI and Heave, for
comparable Relative water contents, at
least for the lower range of PI's (Fig. 10).
Consequently, volume changes due to
shrinkage and swelling are well correlated
(as shown in Fig. 11), i.e., high swelling
soils can also be high shrinking soils.
26
(3) The Swell Index Test yields a good indication
of the PI and AVIV of a soil (Figs. 14 and 15)
up to values of about 35 per cent if the Rela-
tive water content of the sample tested is
known.

Shrinkage Limit did not correlate at all we.l] with the other
methods of classification.

ratings by tests at Dry, Moist and Wet Relative water contents are
shown, along with the average rating and how it compares with the
ratings obtained in Table VIII. The data in Table IX show an
excellent agreement between the average of the measured ratings and
those obtained from correlation with Heave tests, PI, etc. Moreover,
22 of the 27 Swell Index tests on the 10 soils yielded values fall-
ing in the correct category.
In sumary, the Contractor feels that Swell Index values
can yield a considerable amount of valuable information about a soil,
such as an indication of the PI, the potential heave from a given
water content and density, and, of greatest interest to the FHA, a
PVC rating. It must be cautioned, however, that the above correla-
tions are based on tests that were carefully executed. Furthermore,
and of utmost importance, a knowledge of the Relative water content
of the sample tested is required for many of the correlations, in-
cluding the PVC rating.

2. Compact the sample in the Swell Index
device and assemble the device.
- 31 -
It is emphasized that the Relative water content of the
sample must be closely controlled for best results. For example,
if a sample at an Intermediate Relative water content (Table X) were
tested and either the Dry-Moist or Wet correlation used, the PVC
rating could easily be in error by a factor of 2. It is also impor-
tant to have the sample at an uniform moisture content.
- 32 -
(4) Obtain a dlial reading in less than two
hours which indicates a Critical or
Very Critical PVC rating for samples of
very highly plastic soil.
-33 -
To estimate the heave, use Fig. 16 which shows experi-
mental data for ten soils relating Swell Index to Heave (per cent
8hange in height of sample) under a 200 lb./sq.ft. surcharge. This
yields the potential heave if the sample is confined by a pressure
of only 200 lb./sq.ft. In order to obtain an estimate of the amount
of heave for larger confining pressures, the following empirical
approach may be used for a given Swell Index value (this method is
illustrated in Fig. 23).

from the average of Dry and Moist samples

4. Maintain records of the difficulties which
arise during the performance of Swell Index
tests and the suggestions operators offer
so that the testing procedures and/or equip-
ment can be modified to yield better results.
Modifications might include: better methods
for estimating Relative water contents, a
longer or shorter testing period, modifica-
tion of the device to run Swell Pressure tests,
and a more elaborate method for estimating
heave values.

added to the sample and the pressure P is then
continuously adjusted by the screw Jack control
to maintain a constant sample height as indicated
by Dial B. Measurements of the pressure required
to keep constant volume versus time are taken
until equilibrium is reached (usually a few hours).

time in hours is made.

The final surface must be level and firm ("holes"
in the surface of the sample should be filled again
with soil with light tamping).
4. Place Top Bar (17) with Proving Ring on the steel Rods.
(Be sure that Adjustable Rod (8) does not strike the
Cover, as jarring of the Proving Ring Dial may be
harmful), add Washers (19) and Nuts (18) and tighten
firnlly.
- 44 -
7. Record the time and Proving Ring reading on the data
sheet. Add water to the sample by squeezing water
from the squirt bottle into one of the three vertical
(0.14 inch diameter) holes located at the top of the
Compaction Ring until the water level in the Lucite
Container has reached the Cover. (This procedure is
used to reduce the amount of air entrapped in the
Porous Stones and thus to ensure that the sample has
access to water over its entire top and bottom sur-
faces.)
