This behavior can damage of construction structures, particularly, light buildings and roads. The phenomenom is very interesting to be researched, how far the effect of water contents is towards the behavior of free swelling of expansive soil. The material of expansive soil are selected from Karang Ngawi region East Java Province. The expansive soils result in a variation of plasticity index and activity in the soil from Karang (Ngawi) mixed with Nabentonite. The research on free swelling is done by being remolded with diameter 6.35 cm and 1.7 cm, with initial water content of 32% and dry density of 1.26 g/cm 3. An electronic digital caliper is used to measure free swelling. Results of the research indicate that the water contents have a linear relation with free swelling. Index Term-- The expansive soil, Na-bentonite, water content, free swelling. I. INTRODUCTION An expansive clay is one type of fine-grained soil that is formed from expansive minerals with the size of colloidal. In general, expansive clay minerals are formed from montmorilonite, illite, kaolinite, halloysite, chlorite, vermiculite, and attapulgite [1]. Expansive clays have properties which are typical of the expansive mineral content with a ion exchange capacity, resulting in expansive clays having a shrinkage potential development, if there is a change in water content. If the water content increases, expansive soil will swell accompanied by an increase in pore water pressure and the incidence and development pressures. When the water content is reduced to the extent, a shrinkage will occur. The nature and development of such shrinkage can cause damage to the buildings [2]. It is stated [3]that the order of sensitivity to development is the shrinkage of the expansive mineral montmorillonite having the est level of development, and these minerals are divided into Na-montmorillonite and Ca - montmorillonite. Expansive clay soil can be found in many places in the world [1], namely Argentina, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the United States, Australia, Canada, China, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Kenya, Mexico, Morocco, Myanmar, Jordan, Sudan, Ethiopia, Spain, Turkey and Venezuela.. The phenomenon of swelling - shrinkage can cause damage to the building. It is resported [4] that in the United States, losses caused by expansive soil problem turned out exceeding other natural disasters, including losses caused by earthquakes and tornadoes. According to data from the Federal Emergency Agency (FEMA) in 1982, losses due to expansive soil in 197 reached $ 798,1, [5]. Every year building damage, the structure of buildings and roads caused by expansive soils are predicted approximately $ 15,, in the UK, approximately $ 1,, in the USA, and even billions of dollars around the world [6]. In Indonesia, in terms of incidence of the soil, expansive clay problems are almost found all over Indonesia, from North Sumatra to Papua. Total losses have not been reported, but from research and surveys that have been made by the Highways and Road Development Research Center and Department of General Construction, a lot of damages that occur in several roads on the island of Java are caused by expansive clay soil problems [7]. Some researches show that the consistency of expansive clay soil is strongly influenced by soil water content. According to [8], plasticity index (PI) and liquid limit (LL) can be used to determine the swelling characteristics of expansive clays in general. Tthe only plasticity index (PI) alone can be used to estimate the swelling characteristics of expansive clays in general [9]. According [1], [1[, [11[ and [12], the er the plastic index (PI) in an expansive clay minerals is, the er the potential for development will be. Expansive soils in Indonesia make logical problems become more complex, because our country is located in the tropics, where wetting and drying cycles always happen due to the rainy and dry seasons. The result is that in areas where expansive soils become swelling - shrinkage is due to changes in water content and suction. Based on this phenomenon, this research is conducted separately to determine the severity of such influences as how far does the change in water content affect the behavior of free swelling of expansive soil. II. EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM A. Material and Sample Preparation The soil samples for this study were brought from Karang, Ngawi region, East Java Province, of which its map is shown in Fig. 1. The region experiences some of the largest diferential ground movement in East Java. Samples were obtained from a test pit with a depth of two meters. The pit was

Undisturbed samples were taken using a sample tube with a length dimension of cms and a diameter of 7 cms. Undisturbed samples will be kept to water content change and vibration, as well as clean from the roots of plants. The expansive formation at the site is a grey-green to yellowish weathered clayey shale. In this study to vary the plasticity index and activity, then Karang soil was mixed with Nabentonite. Mixing methods as practiced by [9] is a composition of 1% to % of the dry weight of expansive soil, respectively. Examples of Na-bentonite ares used presented in Fig. 2. Na-bentonite were bought in a chemical shop in Surabaya city (East Java). mixture are made in 3 variations, the composition of the mixture are shown in Table I. The test method according ASTM D [13] with a method based on [9]. Dimension of soil samples with a diameter of 6.35 Cms and of 1.7 Cms, with initial water content of 32 % and dry density of 1.26 g/cm 3, as based on the standard Proctor test.

The test of clay composition in mineral Karang and mix of soil shows that the most dominant are the montmorillonite of 49.74% to 5,94%, this soil has a very swelling potential. This procedure as done by previous researchers include, [8], [9], [1], [15] and [16] who state that the expansive clay soil is classified as a very swelling potential if the liquid limits (LL) is er than 6% and plasticity index (IP) is er than 35% and the amount of mineral montmorillonite is over 35% of the total mineral content. B. Swelling Potential Variaous investigations have developed charts and tables to asses the degree of expansiveness of expansive soils using simple index tests. Only a few are tested here, depending on simplicity and wide aceptance. The summary of swelling potential of expansive soils is shown is Table V.

The value of plasticity index Karang (Ngawi) soil and soil mixture on the Table II, showed the greater the percentage of Na-bentonite is in clay Karang (Ngawi), the greater the value plasticity index (PI) is. With the increae in the value of plasticity index (IP) and activity (A), free swelling Krang soil and mixed soil is greater, as shown in Table VII below. Samples T ABLE VII FREE SWELLING OF EXPANSIVE SOILS W Initial Swelling Swelling Swelling (wi), % horizontal vertical volumetric Karang Mix The results of free swelling test on the fig. 7 to fig. 1 and Table VII show the behaviour of swelling of expansive soils as presented by [8], [9], [1], [15] and [16]. V. CONCLUSION Based on research results, some conclusions are drawn as follows. 1. The behavior of swelling vertical, swelling horizontal and swelling volumetric in free swelling test with initial water content and density is similar to the expansive soil of Karang (Ngawi) and soil mix which are strongly influenced by water content changes, the swelling vertical, swelling horizontal and swelling volumetric linearly increase with increasing water content. 2.
