Compression of Saline Soils of Land Structures in Case of Flooding

The problems associated with the suffusion compressibility of saline soils used in the construction of earthworks as foundations in flood conditions are considered. The author conducted studies of the effect of soaking, the amount and type of salts on the physical, deformation and filtration characteristics of soils. The results of the conducted research can be used for the design of engineering structures in flooded areas. Compressibility of saline soils of earthworks in conditions of flooding is an important aspect of geotechnical design and construction. Saline soils are characterized by increased density and reduced porosity, which can lead to significant changes in their compressibility when exposed to loads during flooding. Studies show that saline soils may be more susceptible to compressibility during prolonged soaking than conventional soils. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct special studies and calculations to assess the suffusion compressibility of saline soils in conditions of flooding and to take measures to prevent possible accidents. Thus, the study of the suffusion compressibility of saline soils of earthworks in conditions of flooding is an urgent and important task that requires special attention from geotechnical engineers and builders
