Abstract
The safety of buildings and structures largely depends on the bearing capacity of soil foundations. Structurally unstable dispersed soils with unstable water-colloidal bonds are widespread in Russia, therefore, the issue of evaluating the mechanical stability of dispersed soils is relevant. The authors have developed a technique for zoning by the soil strata mechanical stability degree, the approbation of which is exemplified by a large construction site being designed. The deformation modulus has been used as the main criterion. The technique involves a series of sequential logical operations outlined herein. On the experimental site, areas with a low, medium, and high stability degree of the soil stratum and its engineering-geologic elements (EGE) have been identified. For sites with a low stability degree, recommendations for their development are given.
