“…Therefore, identifying the expansive soils became necessary prior the construction phase to reduce the anticipated damages. The criteria adopted to identify the swelling soil can be categorized into two groups: Mineralogical Identification group and Inferential Identification group which are grouped to direct Methods and Indirect Methods [7].…”

“…Mineral identification are methodsused to identify the type and the amount of the expansive lattice andthe soil chemical properties. Some of the mineralogical methods that are used: Differential thermal analysis, Dye adsorption, X-ray Diffraction, Infrared analysis, Chemical analysis, microscopic examination [7].However, Inferential identification methods depend on creating a bond between some of the index properties of the soil and the clay mineralogy to estimate the soil swell potential. Inferential methods are two groups which are indirect and direct method.…”

In the world, Soils with different properties are available andit is distinguished based on the particle size and the consistency limits. Expansive soils are special soil type that is very sensitive to any change in their inner water content. Such Soils show a noticeable volumetric deformation as response to any variation in their moisture content which in turn affects the over-lied construction badly. Loam soil is a good example of expansive soils that was collected from El-MahmoudeyaLake that is in Alexandria Governorate, North of Egypt. This investigation aims to study the effect of Lubricant oils on the swelling behavior of the loam soil. Lubricant oilswere chosen in this work to minimize its negative environmental impact by finding a new utilization area for itand due to its economic effect as it is considered the least cost treatment method and to detect its ability as stabilizer to use the soil as an adequate fill instead of importing a new one. The swelling parameters effectiveness were studied through the Atterberg limits, free swell, and swell pressure tests.

“…The expansive soil issue has resulted in considerable losses, particularly in light structures or constructions and roads [1], [2]. In the United States, the losses caused by the expansive soil problem outnumber those caused by any other natural disasters, including earthquakes and tornadoes [3], [4]. In terms of soil distribution, expansive soils can be found throughout Indonesia, from North Sumatra to Papua [5], [6].…”

“…"Expansive soils are problematic soils that have low strength and high shrinkage potential due to changes in soil water content", (A 'la, Setiawan, & Djarwanti, 2017). "Expansive or swelling soil is a highly plastic soil that normally contains montmorillonite and other active clay minerals", (FAEZEHOSSADAT & JEFF, 2016).

The land is one of the absolute functions in every continuity of the activities of all living things on Earth. The issue of the low soil resilience type of montmorillonite activity indeed remains a problem in construction activities titled construction. Limestone and Fly-Ash is a formulation to change the classification value of montmorillonite soil activity in the following paper compilation research. Soil classification is an effort of the land grouping which is intended to separate the use of land carrying capacity which is more complex for each use of soil structure. The value of the basic soil activity used is 1.3, obtained from the plastic index calculation of 32.56 %divided by the sieve gradation value is smaller than the sieve number 200 by 25.7 %. Thus it shows that the soil structure used for testing is a type of Montmorillonite activity. with the addition of limestone powder additive materials and fly-ash showed activity value const soil structure to be late. In a combination of 5% additive soil activity type which was previously 1.3 (Montmorillonite classification) to 0.8 (Lilite classification), 10% additive to 0.7 (Lilite classification), 15% and 20% additive to 0.5 or Kaolinite classification.
