Abstract
The aim of this work is to determine the effect of “temperature-precipitation” climate parameters on the physical properties of sandy soil of an embankment during the construction period. The object of this study is sand from a quarry and the upper layer of the road embankment before and after the climatic effect during the “autumn-winter-spring” period. The results of this study revealed changes in sand gradation, coefficient of permeability and void ratio of a sandy soil after the influence of “temperature-precipitation” climate parameters during a short time period. The results of this study can be used for geotechnical control of construction process.
Highlights
1 Introduction One of the tasks of engineering and geological research during the design and construction of modern roads is to study the properties of sandy soils which can be used for embankment
Laboratory studies of physical properties have been carried out with four samples of sandy soil which was used for the construction of a road section in the Voronezh region of the Russian Federation
The plot analysis shows that the sand gradation from samples 1, 2 and 3 remained almost unchanged
Summary
One of the tasks of engineering and geological research during the design and construction of modern roads is to study the properties of sandy soils which can be used for embankment. Physical properties of sand affect the stability and strength of the embankment and, road maintenance [1,2,3,4,5]
