The expansive soil exerts heave pressure on the foundations, basements, stem walls, and piers of buildings. As a result, both substructure and superstructure crack easily that may need expensive repair work. Damages due to soil expansion are slow and are commonly visible after several years of construction. Expansion of soil pushes up the floor slab and leads to extensive crack development, and it also pushes the footing wall outward that leads to the crack formation on the end of the wall.
