Prediction of the Variation of Swelling Pressure and 1-D Heave of Expansive Soils with respect to Suction

The one-dimensional (1-D) potential heave (or swell strain) of expansive soil is conventionally estimated using the swelling pressure and swelling index values which are determined from different types of oedometer test results. The swelling pressure of expansive soils is typically measured at satur...
