Collapsible Soils - Hazards associated with problematic soils which are prone to failure through collapse of their internal structure.
Shrink / Swell Soils - Soils which exhibit a volume change due to moisture content variations.
Peat and Compressible Soils - Soils with very open internal fabrics which are prone to volume reduction and flow upon loading.
Running Sands - Running sand occurs when loosely packed sand becomes fluidised by water.
Quick Clays - Sensitive soils prone to liquefaction and spreading failure.
Glauconite Bearing Soils - Asphyxiation hazard associated with glauconite bearing soils.
