Investigation of the shrinking and swelling action of highly plastic clays on the Prairie Provinces has been carried out for several years by DBR/NRC. The problem facing engineers associated with the building industry is the lack of an analysis whereby the probable amount of vertical movement of a light structure can be predicted. A literature review of research work in England, South Africa, Australia, Israel and the United States was conducted and a study made of two analyses that have been developed; one by Croney et al ( 1952) and the other by Jennings (1957). A testing program was conducted which involved the determination of moisture- suction characteristics of Regina Clay and a comparison of these results with the moisture-pressure r...
