This work aims to analyze geotechnical practices for managing expansive soils in Sudan and Uganda.
Conducted a comparative analysis of geotechnical reports from Sudan and Uganda.
Utilized a mixed-method approach that included field investigations and literature review.
Identified treatment techniques applicable to expansive soils.
Achieved an average reduction in foundation settlement by 20% using treatment techniques.
Noted significant variability in outcomes based on site-specific soil characteristics.
Recommended adopting standardized design guidelines to improve infrastructure durability.

Muteesa et al. (2004) studied this question.
