Swelling soils in Greece belong mainly to the Quaternary clay soils and Neogene marls. Some of these soils, exhibiting a moderate to high swelling potential, are tested in the consolidometer and their swelling characteristics are determined. Furthermore, a new method for estimation of the swelling pressure and/or percentage swelling under certain conditions is proposed, based on the evaluation of test
