Shrinking and swelling behaviour of expansive clays in response to water content change is a worldwide problem.

Expansive soils have the property to modify their volume when moisture changes in relation with temperature, precipitation and vegetation. The paper aimed to determine the shrink-swell behaviour of three different types of expansive clays from Australia, UK and Romania related to the vertical ground movement.
