The Relationship of Physical Property Indicators and Clay Soil Structural Strength of Tomsk Oblast Territory

Abstract

The article deals with the characteristic of initial condition in fine-grained soils - its structural strength - p[str]. Estimation and measurement of this factor at soil testing are of primary importance for defining its physical and mechanical properties as well as for subsequent calculation of foundation settlements that is insufficiently covered in Code of practice, national standard and inefficiently applicable in practice of engineering geological investigations. The article reveals the relationship between soil physical property, its occurrence depth, which will make possible to forecast pstr over the given territory.
