expansive soils can be found in many parts of the world particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. these soilspose a significant hazard to civil engineering structures due to its high swelling and shrinkage potential. this paperpresents the results of an experimental program developed to investigate the effect of cyclic drying and wetting on theswelling potential of expansive soils with variou...
