Expansive soil is used as a high-plastic clay, the bearing capacity is gradually attenuated due to the penetration of water, which greatly limits the application range of practical engineering. In this paper, the permeability and expansibility test of remolded soil and undisturbed soil in expansive soil were carried out. Ability coefficient of remolded soil and undisturbed soil under different overburden values was compared and analyzed. Overburden load, head height and water content were studied. The effect of the rate on the permeability coefficient of remolded soil and further analysis of the expansion and expansion forces at different initial moisture contents The results show that the permeability coefficient of remolded soil and undisturbed soil decreases with the increase of overlying load. As the water content increases, the permeability coefficient decreases first within a certain range. After reaching a certain level, the permeability coefficient gradually increases. As the initial water content increases, the amount of expansion progressive decreases and the expansion force progressive decreases.
