| Abstract [eng] |
Clay slopes and engineering structures built on them, excavations, and embankments are particularly sensitive to the effects of active soil vibrations. There are no common norms for assessing or in general evaluating the effect of soil vibrations on mechanical strength properties. Known methodologies and research methods are of general nature and insufficiently accurately assess the change of mechanical properties of soil under the influence of various vibrations. This is especially important when it comes to the safety of people in large cities that have different types of slopes, embankments, or excavations. The soil research methodology used in our study is relatively new and allows us to determine the change of mechanical properties of soils affected by vibrations depending on the frequency of vibrations. This work contains the analysis of the strength of illite clay of different density and humidity, affected by different vibrations caused by traffic load. It has been filed that vibrations have a negative influence on oedometric strength and shearing strength, i.e. under unfavorable natural conditions, vibrations caused by trains, construction machinery, etc. greatly reduce the strength properties of clay. In the conclusions, it is recommended to use certain soil parameters that are more reliable for the design of structures in urban areas close to or on the slopes. |
