Abstract (2. Language): 
In recent years, environmental pollution has been a significant impact on their surroundings particularly on soil medias. The most important environmental pollution can be mentioned hydrocarbon contamination. Actually, oil contaminants diffusion will have a great impact not only on soil chemical properties but also on its physical properties, particularly geotechnical properties. Also In this research review of previous studies on the geotechnical properties of soil, by reviewing the impact of hydrocarbon contamination on the Atterberg limits is one of the most important geotechnical characteristics of soils. Actually, the Atterberg limits of soils are a standard defining for the rate of moisture existent in the soil sample. In general in this field, the results of previous researches have shown a decrease on liquid and shrinkage limits of contaminated samples. In fact, this matter had caused the significant changes in the strength properties and behavior of contaminated soils compared to uncontaminated samples.
