| Abstract: | The writers present results of investigations of the strength and deformation characteristics of heterogeneous soils and their relation with respect to the composition, density, water content, and degree of compaction. The effect of the composition on the maximum dry density of the soil and the optimal water content is established. Conclusions are drawn about the possibility of use of heterogeneous soils as earth pads, grading fills, backfills, etc. in place of soils of the same type or of homogeneous characteristics.TsMIPKS.
