Expansiveness (also referred to as reactivity) is a phenomenon that affects many clay soils, particularly those that contain significant quantities of clay minerals.

In many cases, the shrinking and swelling of expansive clays in response to moisture content change can be a serious cause of damage to buildings.

The shrink swell test is a simple test that is routinely employed in Australian geotechnical engineering practice to assess quantitatively the expansive potential of undisturbed or remolded clay soils, and to guide design of footings on these soils.
