Why is it important?

A new method, based on the parameters from oedometer test, of characterization of swelling is proposed. Depending on the ratio compression index to swelling index, one can identify the swelling degree and presumed swelling potential. Further, a method for mitigation the swelling is tested in laboratory.

Perspectives

Cinfirm the suggested classification of swelling soils by increasing the number of collected data, worldwide
