Abstract
Laboratory swelling tests of compacted and undisturbed clay specimens have been accomplished using an apparatus that permits vertical and horizontal swelling to be measured independently. The test data have indicated that the unit swelling in the horizontal direction almost invariably exceeds that in the vertical direction, regardless of how compaction is accomplished. An attempt has been made to relate this unexpected result to soil structure and double layer phenomena.
