Review and field tests reveal how geotechnical engineering can improve foundation stability in Sudan's expansive soils.

The aim is to address foundation instability caused by expansive soils in Sudan through geotechnical engineering approaches.
Conducted a review of existing geotechnical literature on expansive soils.
Performed field tests at a selected site in Sudan.
Collected data on soil expansion during wet seasons.
Field data showed expansive soils could swell up to 15% in wet conditions.
Identified effective geotechnical methods to mitigate foundation instability.
Highlighted the importance of considering soil swelling in future designs.

Nafissi et al. (2004) studied this question.
