    This document provides shrink/swell factors for common materials in loose, embankment, and in-situ states. It lists the mass density and percent swell or shrink for various rocks, soils, and other materials. Andesite, basalt, breccia and other rocks are listed along with their densities and expected volume change percentages. Soil types including clay, loam, gravel and gumbo are also included with associated properties. The table serves as a reference for estimating how different geotechnical materials will change in volume with moisture content variations.
