The shrink–swell capacity of soils refers to the extent certain clay minerals will expand when wet and retract when dry. Soil with a high shrink–swell capacity...

minerals, including montmorillonite and bentonite, have the most dramatic shrink–swell capacity. The mineral make-up of this type of soil is responsible for...

ungulates do not like to move on this soil when inundated. However, the shrink-swell activity allows rapid recovery from compaction. In the USDA soil taxonomy...

Swelling capacity, the amount of a liquid that can be absorbed by a polymer Shrink–swell capacity in soil mechanics Unload-reload constant (κ) in critical state...

weathering of aluminium silicate minerals like feldspar. It has a low shrink–swell capacity and a low cation-exchange capacity (1–15 meq/100 g). Rocks that...

with high shrink–swell capacity, such as vertisols, recover quickly from compaction where moisture conditions are variable (dry spells shrink the soil...

influenced by soil texture include porosity, permeability, infiltration, shrink-swell rate, water-holding capacity, and susceptibility to erosion. In the illustrated...

every one octahedral sheet. It is a limited-expansion clay with a medium shrink–swell capacity. Vermiculite has a high cation-exchange capacity (CEC) at 100–150...

which have a mollic epipedon are classified as Vertisols because high shrink swell characteristics and relatively high clay contents dominate over the mollic...

dominant mineral is kaolinite. This clay has good bearing capacity and no shrink–swell property. Consequently, well-drained kaolinitic Ultisols such as the...

"Av"). A second theory supposes that desert pavements form from the shrink/swell properties of the clay underneath the pavement; when precipitation is...

clays in the city's eastern part. Some of the clays have pronounced shrink-swell properties and are difficult to work under most moisture conditions....

"hold" water in the same way. Silt is more penetrable than clay is. Shrink/swell soils are most often related to landforms called "hog wallows" or "gilgai"...

smectite-rich clay which is locally capped by silt or fine sand; the high shrink-swell potential associated with smectite creates major challenges to urban...

Stabilization can increase the shear strength of a soil and/or control the shrink-swell properties of a soil, thus improving the load-bearing capacity of a sub-grade...

which is the ability of clay to hold water against the force of gravity, shrink swell capacity and absorption capabilities. When clay is deposited in the ocean...

Kaolin is not as absorbent as most clays used medicinally (it has a low shrink–swell capacity). Also, it has a low cation exchange capacity. This clay is...

Plain widespread. Here are Podsol floors widespread that swell when supplying water and shrink during drying. Over the pitches of the Wianamatta Group...
