It is well known that the soil properties variability have a great influence on the assessment of the swelling parameters. The present work aims to analyze the bi-dimensional (2D) variability of the swelling parameters of a soil located in ex-ITE (Tlemcen) through a probabilistic method based on a random description of the soil properties variability. This method allows the identification of the swelling parameters in many areas where no information on the soil properties is available.
Keywords: stochastic; variability; soil; swelling.
