Intervention study examines foundation performance in expansive soils, suggesting new designs to improve stability.

The study aims to assess how expansive soils affect foundation stability and develop predictive models for optimal foundation designs.
Conducted field investigations in coastal regions to evaluate soil characteristics.
Performed laboratory analyses to understand the behavior of expansive soils.
Developed predictive models for foundation design under varying moisture conditions.
Concrete foundations experienced significant settlement of up to 20% under extreme moisture.
The study identified the necessity for innovative solutions tailored to specific coastal soil conditions.

Ayoola et al. (2005) studied this question.
