Abstract

Natyral and artificial soil mixtures are widely used for the construction of soil structures, including embankment hydraulic earth dams. Traditionally, two-component mixtures are employed, in which soil is the main constituent component. In this context, both soil of different types and compositions, as well as non-soil material with various propertiest, are used as additives. A brief analysis of research results on the composition, compactability, deformability, compressibility, and resistance of two-component mixtures is presented. It has been established that the controlled addition of different soil or non-soil materials into soil contributes to changes in its properties. Mixtures consisting of three components, performing the roles of load-bearing, binding, and reinforcind components, are proposed. Formulas for determining the mass of a polycomponent mixture and its dry mass during layer-by-layer compaction in soil structures are presented. There formulas are derived based on the principle of mass conservation and taking into account several fundamental law of soil mechanics related to the indicators of their physical properties.
