The different problems that building on expansive clay presents are studied in this article and which do not have as complete and precise an answer as builders would need today. The lack of theoretical methods that would allow us to have feasible results about the possible danger of an expansive soil, and the fact that with land studies using laboratory tests — especially when these are made with inalterable samples — certain important results are obtained, but they are incomplete, and bring us to the conclusion that the analysis of local building experience and of the damages and deformations of the existing works, and also field measurements constitute the best information over the possibility and way of building on this kind of soil.
