Finite Element Method for the Prediction of Volume Change in Expansive Soils

Expansive soils are present in many parts of the world, particularly in semi-arid areas. An expansive soil is generally unsaturated due to desiccation and contains clay minerals that exhibit high volume change when in contact with water. There has been a worldwide interest in research on expansive s...
