Soils that have potential for shrinkage or swelling under changing moisture conditions are called expansive soils. Due to climatic changes, these soils undergo significant volume changes. In India, the area covered by expansive soils is nearly 20 percent of the total area. The problem is generally dealt with soil treatment or foundation alternatives. The lightly loaded structures are more susceptible to damage by the differential movements caused by the swelling and shrinkage of expansive soils. Piles have been used extensively for foundations in swelling soils in order to anchor the structure down at a depth where changes in moisture content are negligible. The anchorage may be effectively done by providing enlarged base or bulbs (Under reamed piles). Chen (1988) and O’Neill (1988) presented analysis of rigid piers in expansive soil. They considered that the total uplift force is the integration of the uplift skin friction over the area of the pier within the active zone. This uplift force is resisted by the skin friction in the anchorage zone beneath the active zone, uplift resistance of the bell (in the case of belled pier) and the applied load. This is depicted in Fig. 1.
