Abstract:
Expansive soil is considered one of the most common causes of pavement distresses. Depending upon the moisture level, expansive soils will experience changes in volume due to moisture fluctuations from seasonal variations. During periods of high moisture expansive will “swell” underneath pavement structure. Conversely during periods of falling soil moisture, expansive soil will “shrink” and can result in significant deformation. These cycles of swell and/or shrinkage can also lead to pavement cracking. Puppala et al. (2006) implied that expansive soils encountered in various districts particularly in northern Texas are the primary causes of pavement failures. Expansive soils located in regions where cool and wet periods followed by hot dry periods are more prone to such problems.
