Abstract: The following study aims to present some works which are going on in our laboratory of materials and durability of structure as a part of a research program, at the University Mentouri of Constantine (Algeria). The research is dealing with the quantification and the evaluation of the potential swelling of the fine particles in the area of Constantine to attempt a geotechnical barrier in the study of the deposit center of waste and the waste disposal. The analysis of the physical-chemical and mineralogical properties has lead to define the major characteristics of the samples, which were tested. A methodical analysis was used called a geometrical figure or A print to describe and structure the results which give a real classification and identification of soil accordingly to the U.S.C.S classification. This tool allow to choice the specimen in term of selected way and take in consideration a lot of variables which can reduce the rate of error and provide a better understanding and behavior of the deposit center of waste.
