Abstract
This paper presents and analyzes the results of a series of laboratory tests of compaction, penetration and free swelling performed on an expansive clay obtained from a site situated in Sidi-Aissa city (wilaya of M'sila, Algeria), where important disorders frequently appears in the road infrastructures and in the small buildings. Tests results obtained show that the parameters values deduced from these tests are concordant and confirm the bearing capacity improvement of the expansive clay treated with cement
