This paper aims at investigating the effect of organic matter content on the engineering properties of the soil. The effect of the organic matter on both the consistency limits and strength have been investigated. The results show that the organic matter increases both the plasticity and the strength of soil. Mathematical formula is presented in which the unconfined compression strength of the soil is related to the organic matter content. It was concluded that increasing the organic matter content increases the displacement corresponding to the maximum shear stress. In addition, the effect of the organic matter has been studied and the results show that the organic matter increases the compressibility of the soil. Stabilizing the soil with cement has been investigated as well. The results show that adding the cement to the soil improves the strength of the soil and decreases its swelling potential. Depending on the organic matter content, a mathematical formula is presented to determine the required cement ratio to treat the soil to decrease its swelling potential.

Clayey expansive soils are fine grained soil with a low strength. Its swelling potential and shear strength are significantly affected by the water content. This research aims to study the effect of the initial water content on both shear strength and the required displacement to reach the maximum strength.
The reasearch was carried out during 2009 – 2010 in Al – Hasaka – Amoda - to study the effect of cattle manure at the rat of 30 ton / ha , and four organic green manure ( Lentil, Vetch, Faba bean and Barely) on soil content of organic matter and so me mineral elements compared with chemical fertilizer 400 kg / ha urea , 83 kg / ha P2O5 and 25 kg / ha K2O . The manure significantly increased organic matter , phosphorus and potassium concentrations compared with other fertilizers ( chemical and green fertilizers ) . All green fertilizers ( Lentil , Vetch , Faba bean and Barely ) significantly increased organic matter , nitrogen and potassium concentration compared with the control without using any fertilizer , the tillage depth ( 0 – 10 ) cm significantly increased soil content of organic matter and nitrogen compared with deeper tillage ( 25 – 30 ) cm during the two seasons .
The research aims to study the effect of soil content of gypsum on the Engineering Characteristics and the usability of compression. The effect of increasing the proportion of gypsum in the soil on the Atrberg limits values was studied, and found that an increase in the proportion of gypsum in the soil reduces the Plasticity. The effect of the gypsum content on the Swelling Capability for soil was studied and found that the swelling ability reduces with increasing the proportion of gypsum and the swelling pressure value also decreases with increasing the soil content of gypsum. It was studied The effect of mixing gypsum soil - cement on the usability of compression, and found that the addition of cement to the soil reduces the usability of compression.
This research studies the effect of the addition of polypropylene fibers (PF) on the properties of the swelling clayey soil. The effect of PF on the shear strength of the clayey soil has been studied and the results show that adding PF, up to spec ific value, increases the shear strength. Beyond this value of addition, the shear strength decreases. The increase in shear strength was about (100-110) % and the optimal addition ratio was determined.
With the widespread of oil facilities, distribution centers of oil and oil tanks, it has become a must in this article to study the impact of these materials on the physical and mechanical properties of soils, especially at coast to avoid distortions and changes in the properties of these soils. We tried in this research to study Clay coastal soil. Two main samples were studied: one polluted with materials leaked from these sites and the other was not. The samples were taken from both types and transported to the laboratories of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the University in October. In the laboratory, we conducted experiments and evaluated their results.
