The Stability

Stabilization of permafrost soils of the roadbed base, constructed with assumption of thawing, thanks to improvement of their strength characteristics, requires development and selection of rational structural and technological solutions. The objective of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of use of vertical columns of crushed stone in the permafrost zone and their influence on strength characteristics of the soil base. The study has used general scientific methods, modeling, simulation and comparative analysis. This article proposes a method for improving strength properties of soil of the roadbed base within Obskaya–Salekhard section of the Northern Latitudinal Railway thanks to reinforcement of the roadbed base made with vertical columns of crushed stone, which increases stability of the structure. The proposed basic technological model of construction of the roadbed includes the following main stages: preparatory stage, 1 stage – arrangement of vertical columns of crushed stone and granular subbases, 2 stage – additional compaction with a vibratory roller in case of mismatch of stability of bearing capacity and precipitation of the base to operating standards. The studied object of the transport infrastructure was simulated both without the use of technology for reinforcing it with vertical columns of crushed stone and with its use. The stability coefficient was calculated, and the theoretical surface of embankment collapse was obtained using Midas GTS NX and Plaxis 2D software packages. The stability test of this structure was carried out both in a flat and in a threedimensional setting. The efficiency of using vertical columns of crushed stone to strengthen the embankments constructed on permafrost soils has been shown.

Deformation Modes

The cycle configuration at two-frequency loading regimes depends on the number of parameters including the absolute values of the frequencies and amplitudes of the low-frequency and high-frequency loads added during this mode, the ratio of their frequencies and amplitudes, as well as the phase shift between these harmonic components, the latter having a significant effect only with a small ratio of frequencies. Presence of such two-frequency regimes or service loading conditions for parts of machines and structures schematized by them can significantly reduce their endurance. Using the results of experimental studies of changes in the endurance of a two-frequency loading of specimens of cyclically stable, cyclically softened and cyclically hardened steels under rigid conditions we have shown that decrease in the endurance under the aforementioned conditions depends on the ratio of frequencies and amplitudes of operation low-frequency low-cycle and high-frequency vibration stresses, and, moreover, the higher the level of the ratios of amplitudes and frequencies of those stacked harmonic processes of loading the greater the effect. It is shown that estimation of such a decrease in the endurance compared to a single frequency loading equal in the total stress (strains) amplitudes can be carried out using an exponential expression coupling those endurances through a parameter (reduction factor) containing the ratio of frequencies and amplitudes of operation cyclic loads and characteristic of the material. The reduction is illustrated by a set of calculation-experimental curves on the corresponding diagrams for each of the considered types of materials and compared with the experimental data.
