Light Commercial Construction on Yazoo Clay
Foundation engineering in Jackson, Mississippi is complicated by the presence of Yazoo Clay. Yazoo Clay is a high plasticity montmorillonitic clay with a very high shrink/swell potential. Yazoo Clay has caused severe structural and aesthetic damage to many structures in the Jackson area. This paper will focus on light commercial and residential construction over Yazoo Clay and the common approaches to coping with the highly expansive clay. Shallow and deep foundation design and construction philosophies are presented. This paper will discuss common engineering practices which have been derived from long-term professional experience in Jackson, Mississippi.
