Reinforcement of weak seasonally freezing soils at road consructing by double-cone hollow pile method

Abstract

The article deals with the reinforcement method of weak seasonally freezing soils in subgrade base by using double-cone hollow piles, tridimensional geogrid, geotextile for roads in the northern regions of the Russian Federation. The method of calculating the road base in the form of pile strip foundation of double-cone hollow piles reinforced by tridimensional geogrid and geotextile 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.
