Abstract:

General regularities of the influence of the Genesis, composition and properties of the solid phase of a sandy loam soil on its plasticity under tension are installed. Increased plasticity of the alluvial soil above the floodplain associated with the formation of properties at the stage of late diagenesis and incomplete process of consolidation, as well as their greater hydrophilicity. Plasticity and deformability moraine loams due to the increase in the degree of their lithification is greatly reduced. Increased ductility and deformability fluvioglacial deposits by weathering processes is explained. Graphs of modulus of deformation of sandy loam soil depending on the pressure obtained on the basis of experimental data
