Abstract
In recent years there has arisen an increasing awareness of the existence of soils that decrease in bulk volume when water is applied to them.

The following terms have been applied to this situation: collapse, collapsing soil, near surface subsidence, subsidence, hydrocompaction, and hydroconsolidation.
