Conclusions
-
1.
On the basis of the work performed, a generalizing relation for determing the optimal density of clay-rubble soils with various contents of fines and its various physical and mechanical characteristics is proposed.
-
2.
A relation is proposed for determining the minimum allowable content of fines in clay-rubble soil used for watertight components of dams.
-
3.
A relation and method are proposed which makes it possible to check and control the technological process when enriching clay-rubble soils with fines when placing them in watertight components of dams.
The proposed method of assigning the optimal density of clay-rubble soils will make it possible to refine more promptly the optimal density of soil in relation to the technology of performing the work and compacting mechanisms and thereby to reduce the volume of field experiments.
