Abstract

The article presents the results of the theoretical researches in the field of railway roadbed stability calculation. The article considers the influence of soils stabilized by electrochemical action with the application of electrolytes on the specific features of stress–strain state with consideration of the dynamic effect from rolling stock. It gives a brief method of stability calculation taking into account the specific features of electrochemically treated soils. The developed method allows taking into account the reduction of strength characteristics of soil under dynamic effect from rolling stock. The described methodology is based on the data of field and laboratory studies which allow evaluating the actual levels of vibrodynamic impact on the soils of roadbed from passing trains and the sensitivity of certain soils to this effect. It also provides for a preliminary selection of the composition of the electrolyte and the modes of passing direct electric current in the laboratory conditions. This allows having a better consideration of the characteristics of soil received after electrochemical treatment in the calculation.
