Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Expansive soils are primarily located in arid and semi-arid locations worldwide. The inclusion of montmorillonite clay in these soils results in significant swell-shrink potential. Expansive soils, commonly referred to as swelling soils or shrink-expand soils, are soils that undergo swelling. when exposed to moisture and shrink once it is decreased .Because of their different wetting and drying characteristics, they cause structural damage to structures and pavements. Several stabilizers and techniques have been applied to stabilize the soil and make it more suitable for construction purposes. The main objective is the search for suitable soil stabilizers to address the challenges presented by expansive soils, not only in terms of their essential geotechnical features, but also in terms of both economic and environmental issues, an alternative Environmentally-friendly stabilizers termed as (Polymer) was used to treat expansive soils .This reviews some researches into the use of polymer and biopolymer in improving clayey soil ,also their effect on soil swelling .It also discusses the suitability of thse materials for future use and the extent of their impact on the environment.
