Ground shrinkage is the reduction in volume or compactness of soil due to factors such as drying out or removal of water. It can lead to settlement of structures built on the affected soil. Ground heave, on the other hand, is the upward movement or swelling of soil caused by the presence of excess moisture or pressure beneath the surface. Heave can also cause damage to buildings and infrastructure.
