The issue of the swelling soils has generated a significant interest among the specialists in geotechnics given the incidence of its behavior in the structural damages ever experienced in history. In this regard, multiple studies have focused their research on evaluation of the contribution of some chemical additives in the development of properties of problematic soils in matter, getting into a constant search of alternative sustainable and efficient materials for its stabilization. In this environment, the present project focuses on evaluate the effect on the addition of a stabilizing agent, like potassium chloride (KCl), in the expansion rate of clayey soils with high swelling potential in “Urb. Los Vencedores 2da Etapa, Talara”. For that purpose, there has been made, for instance, mineralogical identification and physical characterization tests for an unspoilt sample in bulk extracted from the study area. In addition, there were made tests to determinate the swelling potential for pattern samples plus post-tests groups with potassium chloride presence in 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% concentration. Results shown that the chemical agent proposed in the inhibition of swelling clayey soils was effective, with a maximum reduction of 92% for the sampling and 6% of potassium chloride, making this concentration the ideal one.
