Expansive soils are of the kind the volume of which will be changed to extremes by being exposed to varying conditions of moisture. This volume change is a serious menace to structures built on these types of soils. Throughout the present research the potential of volume change in these soils was investigated when exposed to the phenomenon of wetting and drying. For the purpose, samples of a statically compacted soil were positioned in a consolidation test set, and tests conducted under two surcharges of 10 and 20 KPa and along with two kinds of water quality (pure and acid). Results showed equal swell and shrinkage occurring, following a repetition of about five test cycles. Furthermore, changing water quality (to acid) was found as an effective element in decreasing of the swelling potential.
