SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR THE SELECTION OF THE COMPOSITION OF SOILS, FORTIFIED WITH LIME
The use of lime to strengthen the soil of highways can significantly reduce the cost of construction, reconstruction and major repairs of highways. Lime can be crushed in road construction to achieve such goals as drainage of soils and strengthening of soils. The article deals with the physicochemical processes of the formation of soils reinforced by the news. Also in the article methods of selection of compositions of soil-limy mixtures, adopted in Belgium, Sweden, the USA and the Russian Federation are analyzed. In different countries, the methods for selecting the compositions of ground mixtures are different. The main discrepancies in the methods of selection of compositions are mainly concerned with the methods of laboratory tests and determination of the qualitative characteristics associated with the optimization of the soil mixture. Russian regulatory requirements for the selection of mixtures of soil mixtures are very labor-intensive and require improvement in the field of strengthening soils with lime, taking into account the experience of other countries.
