Do All Types of Soil Contribute to Wall Shearing? 

Different types of soil have varying impacts on wall shearing. Clay-heavy soils, for example, are more prone to expanding and contracting with moisture changes, making them a higher risk for causing wall shearing. However, it’s not just the soil type but also factors like soil moisture, external pressures, and construction quality that can contribute to the issue.
