| Summary: | Very highly swelling and shrinkage is the expansive soil characteristic, that can be easily found in Indonesia and it often arises a problem in civil work constructions.
To investigate the relationship between swelling and shrinkage it is necessary to carry out the examination of atterberg limit, in particular the shrinkage limit. Sample test condition of optimum moisture contain and maximum dry density were analysised to determine swelling and shrinkage limit, which was based on the value of the critical dry density.
The result shows that the value of critical dry density in 1.225 gr/cm3 for a normal condition and 1.38 gr/cm3 for an influenced wet dry process. Therefore a water contain may influence the level of swelling and shrinkage expansive clays. |
