Recommendations and Treatment of Expansive Soil For the study at hand, the recommendations summarized here below have been single out based on the results of visual observations and field and laboratory investigations. Control the shrink-swell behavior through the following alternatives:  Replace existing expansive soil with non-expansive soil or mixing. Madhyannapu et al., (2010) provide details of quality control when stabilizing expansive sub-soils using deep soil mixing, demonstrating the use of non-destructive tests based on seismic methods.  Maintain a constant moisture content.  Improve the expansive soils by stabilization or compaction.  Soil stabilization Chemical stabilization  Soil stabilization can improve the properties of expansive soils considerably. Possible materials for the stabilization could include lime, pozzolana, lime-pozzolana mixture, cement, resins or fly ash. The choice of a material or a combination of materials depends on the size and importance of the building (risk/damage acceptable) and economic consideration of the client. However, the need to strike a proper balance between quality and cost should not be overlooked. Chemical stabilization can be used to provide a cushion immediately below foundation placed on expansive soils, e.g. pavements and sand (Hudyma and Avar, 2006) or granulated tire rubber (Patil et al., 2011and Sabat, 2012) (see following Figure).  Hydration before the start of pre-construction  Hydration before the start of pre-construction. The disadvantages of this method it takes time up to several Months.  Strengthening structures and design elements of origin of the tiles, walls, columns, foundations to bear the puffiness and the resulting pressure.  Using deep foundation (Piles) to transfer the lodes from the weak expansive soil to strong non- expansive one.  Make a water drainage system in a location far away from the building so as to prevent the accumulation of water in the expansive soil.
