What are Expansive Clay Soils? I Geotechnical Engineering I TGC Ask Andrew EP 7

Expansive clay soils, sometimes referred to as ‘shrink-swell’ clays, cause billions of dollars of damage every year. In the UK, insurance claims for shrink-swell damage have been as high £0.5 billion in a single year, while in the US problems related to expansive clay cost an estimated $15 billion annually, more than all other geotechnical hazards (such as earthquakes, landslides, etc.) combined. Expansive clays and the problems they cause are particularly expensive because expansive clays cover large areas of land, in countries across the globe.
