Engineering problems associated with active clay formations, having a large swelling and shrinking potential,
are existing in different regions of Romania.
ln the general framework of the active clays behaviour, the present paper describes some particular aspects of swelling
and shrinkage processes.
The differences between swelling potential relationship obtained by two different methods are presented and discussed.
Engineering problems associated with active clay formations, having a large swelling and shrinking potential,
are existing in different regions of Romania.
ln the general framework of the active clays behaviour, the present paper describes some particular aspects of swelling
and shrinkage processes.
The differences between swelling potential relationship obtained by two different methods are presented and discussed.
Swelling pressure tests were accomplished using the available standard techniques, as well a special developed cell pres-
sure equipment.
Attention is drawn on the stages of shrinkage process as related to the soil structure. lt was found that, in a general case,
there are three distinct stages: initial, normal and residual shrinkage.
Laboratory investigations have shown that in soils with an anisotropic structure, the directional variation of shrinkage
strains is elliptical in shape, with the inaxirnurn shrinkage normal to particle orientation.
