Abstract In Mila Province, Algeria (a.k.a Mila Wilaya), sensitive clays presenting shrinkage-swelling phenomena are widespread, covering large areas. Due to this, constructions and infrastructures sustainability built on such soils is questionable. Such clays sensitivity is amplified by seasonal rainfall deficits which reaches extreme magnitudes. In order to develop disasters prevention measures, we present in this work, areas mapping susceptible to shrinkageswelling phenomenon by adopting a French method developed by B R G M. This method takes into account three measurable characteristics:...
