Many sedimentary rocks contain clays that swell on exposure to moisture, producing stresses from differential strain. Wendler and Snethlage showed that the swelling can be reduced by treatment with diamino alkanes. In this paper, we present results showing that mixtures of such molecules are more effective than any single molecule, and that better results are obtained by applying smaller molecules before the larger ones.
