Abstract
A procedure for and results of experimental investigation of the effect of the reinforcement of a soil bed by rigid rod structures on its deformation properties are cited. A conclusion is drawn concerning the strengthening of a soil where the ratio of the area of reinforcing elements to the loaded surface is 1:80 and higher. It is demonstrated that the reinforcement of soil is associated primarily with the constraint of plastic deformations and does not affect the properties of the soil mass being deformed.
