CALCULATION OF ELASTIC DEFORMATIONS OF PAVEMENTS BUILT ON PEAT /IN RUSSIAN/

DATA ARE PRESENTED ON ELASTIC DEFORMATIONS OCCURRING IN ROADS BUILT ON PEAT. OBSERVATIONS WERE CARRIED OUT UNDER VARIOUS WEATHER AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS. MAXIMA ELASTIC DEFORMATIONS OCCURRED IN THE AUTUMN. THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DEFORMATIONS DEPENDS ON THE THICKNESS OF THE SURFACING AND SUBGRADE AND ON THE PHYSICO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE PEAT. MODULI OF ELASTICITY WERE DETERMINED FOR DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEAT; THE ELASTIC MODULUS VARIES VERY LITTLE WITH THE COMPOSITION AND NATURE OF THE PEAT, BUT IS DETERMINED BY ITS DENSITY AND MOISTURE CONTENT. IT WAS SHOWN THAT THE ELASTIC THEORY COULD BE APPLIED TO THE CALCULATION OF ELASTIC DEFORMATIONS OF ROAD STRUCTURES BUILT ON PEAT. /LCPC/RRL/
