Shrink-swell Behavior

Shrink-Swell Behavior is a geomechanical response of unsaturated soils, characterized by reversible volume changes due to variations in soil moisture content, wherein the soil mass expands upon wetting and contracts upon drying as governed by matric suction and the inherent plasticity of the soil fabric.
