Abstract

The results of solving the problem of determining the amount of dry soil required for stamping a trench in a water-saturated soil are presented. The initial equations are based on the principle of equality of masses and the principle of equality of volumes. The principle of mass equality allows that the mass of the soil mixture, which is formed as a compacted shell around the trench (during stamping), consists of a mass of water-saturated soil and a mass of dry soil (mixed). The principle of volume equality assumes that the volume of solid particles in dry soil is equal to the sum of the pore volumes of saturated and dry soils. Formulas have been obtained that will allow determining the amount of dry soil, taking into account a number of physical parameters of the driest soil, water-saturated soil and compacted soil mixture, which is formed from the first two specified soils. The formulas allow to obtain different results, and are subject to experimental verification.
