  • A unified swelling potential index for expansive soils 
    Kariuki, Patrick C.; van der Meer, F. (Elsevier, 2004-03)
    Soil swelling is a term generally applied to the ability of a soil to undergo large changes in volume due to increased moisture content. Several commonly used swelling potential indices, namely Atterberg limits, coefficient ...
