A study was conducted to investigate the shrinkage behaviour of clay soils of Oltrepo Pavese (Northern Apennines – Italy), which has experienced, in the last decades, many drought periods. The shrinkage characteristics were studied in laboratory with different methods. A quantitative description of the crack pat-terns at the soil surface was done in a site corresponding to a natural soil, which was used in the laboratory tests.

Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate the shrinkage behaviour of clay soils of Oltrepo Pavese (Northern Apennines – Italy), which has experienced, in the last decades, many drought periods.
