Salts in the base soils as a factor forming their corrosion activity, subsidence and compressibility

Abstract

Saline silty clay soil (SSCS) is the stochastic spatio-temporal separation of a common territory, which changes under conditions of natural and man-made impact on the salt component of soil. The research methodology of SSCS is proposed here. The design parameters determined by the proposed methodology allow to take into account the entire spectrum of changes in the properties of the SSCS in the base for the standard service life of the designed facility at the design stage, and, therefore, to select reliable geotechnology for construction of the designed facility, thereby ensuring its reliable operation.
