Testing Deformation and Compressive Strength of the Frozen Fine-Grained Soils with Changed Porosity and Density

Abstract Current paper focuses on the laboratory experiments performed wit aim to test deformation in frozen loam soil specimens. Loam soils are subject external effects, such as climate and environmental impacts including temperature changes. Soil heave is one of key features restraining possible area development: construction buildings, roads railways. Necessarily, this requires improvements methods assessment heave. This research evaluated compressive strength several specimens soil. The approach included varying load physical properties specimens: porosity, pore filling, moisture, density particles dry density. Besides during experiment, conditions were changed: decreased increased pressure. experiment based UPG-MG4-01. presented tests using applied geotechnical methods.
