THE CONSTRUCTION OF EARTH SUBGRADES UNDER DIFFICULT NATURAL CONDITIONS. WORK CARRIED OUT BY THE SOYUZDORNII (FEDERAL STUDY AND RESERACH INSTITUTE IN THE USSU) /IN RUSSIAN/

THE CONSTRUCTION IS STUDIES OF EARTH ROADS ON COMPRESSIBLE SOIL, PEAT, MUD, WET BRACKIST SOIL, ETC. THE HIGH COST OF THE CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION METHOD, WHICH CONSISTS IN REMOVING THE EZISTING SOIL AND REPLACING IT WITH BORROW, LED TO RESEARCH INTO THE IMPROVEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION METHODS WHICH USE COMPRESSIBLE SOIL UNDER EMBANKMENTS. FINDINGS ARE PRESENTED AND RECOMMENDATIONS ARE OUTLINED FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF PROJECTS FOR BUILDING EARTH SUBGRADES ON COMPRESSIBLE SOIL. THE TITLES OF THE ARTICLES ARE AS FOLLOWS: (1) PROBLEMS CONCERNING PLANNING THE CONSTRUCTION OF EARTH SUBGRADES ON COMPRESSIBLE SOIL, (2) SPECIAL FEATURES OF PROJECTS AND CONSTRUCTION OF EARTH SUBGRADES IN THE MARSHES OF WESTERN SIBERIA, (3) THE USE OF RIGID SLABS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF ROAD EMBANKMENTS ON MARSHLAND, (4) STABILITY OF SUBGRADES BUILT ON WET BRACKIST SOIL. (5) INFLUENCE OF HIGHLY SOLUBLE SALTS ON THE PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SOIL WITH A HIGH SALT CONTENT, (6) STRUCTURAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SOIL WITH A HIGH SALT CONTENT, (7) PRINCIPLE FOR DRAWING UP SPECIFICATIONS RELATING TO THE COMPLEMENTARY WETTING OF THE SOIL DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF EARTH IN KAZAHSTAN, AND (8) WINTER CONSTRUCTION OF EMBANKMENTS USING POWDER AND COHESIVE SOIL. /LCPC/RRL/
