Abstract:
The application of methods of improvement of ground bases in subsidence
areas is an urgent issue today. This is evidenced by the continuing difficulties with the
operation of transport structures. This study presents experimental studies of soil
reinforcement. An important factor is to determine the properties of the soil, so the paper
presents the results of laboratory tests. The angle of internal friction and the deformation
increases to a greater extent when the reinforcing element is embedded in the ground,
which will increase the bearing capacity of the foundations and reduce the deformability
and settlement of the soil mass. The use of a reinforcing element in the ground not only
makes it possible to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the soil but also
gives an economic effect. It allows you to reduce the cost of the volume of earthworks.
The results obtained in this study have considerable potential for eliminating problems
arising from the construction of structures in subsidence areas.
