Abstract

The article is devoted to the application of deformation preventing measures for dams constructed out of swelling soils. Laboratory and fields tests have shown the relation between swelling pressure-compaction tension has a nonlinear character. On the basis of received dependence it is proposed to compensate the swelling pressure by the load calculated with the formula h = 0,3  σsw /ρ,  where ρ is a soil density,  σsw  is a swelling pressure.
