Below is a cool video explaining how expansive soils, with a high swelling potential, are stabilized. this video is mainly about the improvement of subgrade layer of a highway that is to be built in a region with a soil of a very high clayey content or predominance of expansive soil.
In this video about expansive soil stabilization, some typical additives or chemicals used to stabilize an expansive soil are given. These include lime, cement, and CDK. For a brief demonstration of how to stabilize an expansive soil of the road's sub-grade , please refer to the above link
