Özet: Clays with the potential to swell and shrink are found in many regions of our country. Vertical deformations that occur depending on the capacity of volume changing of the swelling clays can cause damage to the structure. In the case of a foundation ground contains swelling clay minerals, different settlements in the structure occur due to the low vertical pressure transferred by the lightly loaded structures and it may cause major damage. In this study, consistency limits, compaction, free pressure, and swelling pressure tests were carried out by adding Afşin-Elbistan fly ash of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% by weight to high plasticity Eşen clay. Then the same series of experiments was repeated, keeping the lime amount constant at 6% by weight. As a result of the experimental studies, it was determined that Afşin-Elbistan fly ash improved the engineering properties of Eşen clay with high plasticity.
