Abstract
The paper describes the technology of mechanically stabilized layers in road structures. Special attention is paid to weak soils extreme cold regions Theoretical approach to the application of MSL technology in such conditions supported by practical experience is presented. Special attention is paid to the distribution of load through the mechanically stabilized layer. There are described examples of structures where the influence of parameters and structure of mechanically stabilized layers are demonstrated. By proper selection of the structure, the performance of the road can be essentially influenced. Recommendations for future development and widen application are formulated.
