Expansive soils for engineering have a challenging behavior. Due to its capacity of great variation in volume when losing and gaining moisture it needs to be stabilized. In this way, many materials and stabilization methods are researched with a view to reconciling with the environment and long-term efficiency. In this study, through a systematic literature review, publications, studies and scientific innovations for stabilization methods were sought. It was found that year after year studies are made to try to find new efficient and definitive methodologies, but despite having a periodicity, the volume of research is still limited.
