Fourteen papers from an October 2001 conference discuss the effects of trees and moisture movements on various lightly loaded foundations on expansive clays, reviewing the state of the practice in foundation design, maintenance, and remediation as it relates to vegetative effects and expansive clays on foundations. Topics include tree root damage to buildings, predicting volume changes in expansive soils due to environmental factors including vegetation and drought, soil- structure interaction, depth of wetting and active zone in expansive soils, and cracking of pavement due to drying shrinkage. c.
