Abstract: In addition to mechanical conditions, the swelling of expansive soils is generated mainly by the interaction of water with the minerals of clay particles, thus, the soil structure is changing with water content variations (wetting, drying or wetting – drying cycles). Moreover, the swelling properties (swelling potential and pressure) of these soils are influenced by some physico-chemical characteristics (such as surface charge density and cation valency) and some geotechnical characteristics (such as plasticity , initial water content , initial dry density and soil structure).
Key words: expansive soil, swelling, wetting, drying, water content, structure, swelling potential, swelling pressure, plasticity.
