strength and swelling pressure p of expansive soil are researched. The results show that the relationship between c,tan? and
sr
? are similar to that of between swelling pressure p and
sr
?;the strength of expansive soil under any state can be represented both by strength under saturated state and addition strength produced by suction; and the latter can be represented by swelling pressure of soil in various states.
