Item Open Access Design principles for foundations on expansive soils(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2007) Chao, Kuo-Chieh, author; Nelson, John D., advisor; Overton, Daniel, advisorThe design of foundations for sites having expansive soils is one of the greatest challenges facing geotechnical engineers today.
