Geohazard Assessment of Shrink Swell Behaviour of Deposits

**No longer exists - now part of GeoSure**An assessment of the potential for a geological deposit to shrink or swell with changes in moisture content. A characteristic usually of clays, mudstones and shales. The methodology is based on BGS digital stratigraphic linework, geotechnical properties and expert knowledge of the behaviour of the formations so defined.

Access constraints
otherRestrictions Other restrictions
Other constraints
This information has commercial potential and access should be subject to the project leader's approval (J Walsby). The information should not used to indicate actual hazard at a site. It does not assess if the hazard is actually present. This can only be determined by a site specific assessment. Indicates only the potential for a hazard to exist in an area.

Supplemental Information
Geotechnical data abstracted from NGDC site investigation collection and entered into the BGS geotechnical database. Methodology may be revised in the light of new knowledge or customer feedback. Changes in digmap base data will require periodic or continuous revision. ADDITIONAL_INFO 1 = V:\ISM\GHD\Natural-Hazards DATASET_COMPLETENESS = Incomplete, subject to revision in line with changes in digmap lithology codes.# SPATIAL_DETAIL_LEVEL = Based on 1:50 000 DiGmap linework.# DATASET_LOGICAL_CONSISTENCY = Methodology consistent throughout. Otherwise subject to logical consistency of digmap
