REINFORCEMENT OF SUBGRADE DOUBLE-CONE PILES

Abstract

Statement of the problem. The problem of designing the reinforcement method of weak seasonally freezing soils in subgrade base by using double-cone hollow piles and geotechnical materials for roads in the northern regions of the Russian Federation is investigated. Results. As a result of the study, the construction of the subgrade in the form of pile strip foundation of double-cone piles reinforced by geotechnical materials on weak heaving soils taking into account traffic loads and weight of subgrade is considered. A method has been developed of calculating the road base in the form of pile strip foundation of double-cone piles reinforced by geotechnical materials on weak heaving soils taking into account traffic loads and weight of subgrade is considered. The developed method of calculation is based on the formation of soil compaction zones in the near-pile space as a result of pile driving into the ground, which leads to an increase in the structural strength of the weak soil, and also takes the arch effect that occurs in the soil between adjacent pile heads. Conclusions. The obtained research results allow us to conclude that the developed subgrade design and its calculation method are of great interest both to scientists and design engineers, and can be used in construction practice.
