Oedometer based estimation of vertical shrinkage of expansive soil in a large instrumeted soil column

The moisture variations in expansive soils cause shrink-swell behaviour, resulting in distress to the structures founded in/on problematic soils. The oedometer based tests can be used to determine swell behaviour of soil; however, limited research has been conducted for vertical shrinkage estimation...
