Abstract: The analysis of the feasibility of using local materials in road construction has been carried out. The physical and mechanical properties of shale have been examined. It has been found out that low strength and frost-resistance of shale is not possible to use them in the embankment. The physical and mechanical properties of shale reinforced cement have been examined. It has been found out the optimal consumption of cement, in which the strength characteristics of the shale satisfy regulatory requirements for embankment soil.
Keywords: local materials, embankment, soil strengthening, shale.
Pages: 116-120.
