Rational Use of Natural Clay Soils in Construction of Highways
There are considered the problems of constructiing highways' roadbed with elevated-humidity clay soils. Removal of elevated-humidity clay soils into dumps (storage of the soil on the area adjacent to the road's allotment strip) and their replacement by soils suitable for construction of embankments leads to disruption of natural environment's ecological balance and inefficient use of land. It is shown that with appropriate treat- ment of elevated-humidity soil, it can be used for roadbed construction.
