DEFECTS REMOVAL FOR BRIDGE CONNECTION TO EMBANKMENT

Abstract

The paper considers the causes for defects occurrence at the bridge connection with the embankment, methods for strengthening of the weak soils for the approach embankment base to the bridge structures. New methods are given for reinforcement of the embankment base using modern technologies and types of piles. The use of crushed stone piles allows an increase in the strength and deformative properties of a weak base and eliminates the influence of defects.
