STUDY OF EMBANKMENT CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY AND SOIL SUITABILITY

Abstract

Soil stabilization includes various methods aimed at improving soil properties by strengthening its structure and increasing its resistance to environmental factors. This can be achieved by mechanical, chemical technologies, using geosynthetic materials or biological solutions. These methods reduce the risk of deformation, cracking and erosion, ensuring better stability and durability of the built infrastructure.

Before starting any soil stabilization work, it is necessary to conduct detailed laboratory tests to accurately assess the soil properties and determine which methods are most effective. Laboratory tests allow for analyses that help to understand the soil grain size, moisture content, plasticity limits and other factors that determine stabilization processes. Such tests provide a basis for selecting the most suitable stabilization materials, avoiding excessively expensive and useless solutions.

In this work, laboratory tests are performed to determine the origin of soils for the preparation of stabilization projects. Static slab loading tests are also performed before and after stabilization.
