The problem of eliminating winter slips on paved roads is a topical issue today. The paper analyzes the results of tests using traditional (chloride) and non-traditional chemical reagents and their influence on the strength properties of cement concrete. In general, the formation of slipperiness on the surface of cement concrete pavements does not differ from asphalt concrete, because cement concrete can have a high moisture capacity. The pores of cement concrete readily allow moisture to penetrate, and with decreasing air temperature significant ice formation can occur in the pavement. This kind of slipperiness is very dangerous. In appearance they look like a dry coating, in fact, they penetrate deeply into the body of the coatings. Not every chemical reagent can act positively to reduce moisture. And also this process in climatic zones with a sharply continental climate especially exacerbates the likelihood of peeling of cement stone, followed by crumbling of concrete (peeling) and loss of strength due to the low stability of this material.

Destructuring settlements due to frost heave during the structures’ exploitation are often not taken into account at the designing stage, although they are indirectly related to the bearing capacity of the soils. The objective of this research was analyzing the effect of the number of freezing-thawing cycles on the strength characteristics of soils. A paired experiment with various initial parameters (void ratio, initial moisture content, and the number of freezing-thawing cycles) was carried out. According to the experimental results, the cohesion largely depends on the above parameters which might lead to its decrease by up to three times. The angle of internal friction demonstrated an indefinite behavior during the freeze-thaw cycles, which is confirmed by a literature review. Freezing–thawing cycles significantly decrease the soil bearing capacity: up to 44% after 10 freezing-thawing cycles for soil with and . However, in the case of and it increased by 33%. A program based on the least-squares method was used to calculate the approximation coefficients of the dependence describing the changes in strength characteristics from the abovementioned parameters. Changes in strength characteristics must be taken into account when designing structures, as they can lead to additional settlement or even subsidence of the foundations.

Quantitative and qualitative changes in recent years in the road industry require new technological approaches to road construction. Today some of the most used materials in road construction are geosynthetics. Geosynthetics have become interesting engineering materials in a wide range of applications and geotechnical, environmental, hydraulic, environmental, and private developments. The paper presents the research on the load and operational condition of the test model of a road reinforced with different geosynthetic materials. Geogrid and geotextile were used in testing. High-strength geotextiles or geogrids can provide adequate embankment reinforcement when properly designed and selected. Both materials can be used equally well, provided with the requisite design properties. Under the influence of the load from transport, the filler used for the cells is compacted. Currently, there is a redistribution of load throughout the entire volume of the monolithic structure with the grid. The tests carried out showed that using geotextiles leads to a decrease in the settlement coefficient by 25% and the use of a geogrid -by 38%. In rural areas of Kazakhstan, where the road network is in poor condition due to weak soils, strengthening the roadway with traditional materials will require large sums of money. Reinforcing the soil of unpaved roads with geosynthetic materials will allow more rationally and at a lower cost to improve the performance of unpaved roads in rural areas of Kazakhstan.

The peculiarity of the modern stage experienced by Kazakhstan is that its development and formation as a sovereign state occurs in the era of tectonic shifts in the socio-economic structure of society, the change of socio-economic system, the transition from socialist formation to the capitalist path of development. Solution of socio-economic problems associated with the need for radical changes in the development of rural areas is due to the transition to a market economy. Conducting deep agrarian reforms and radical transformations in the socio-economic structure of rural areas, the development and use of natural resources of territories, rationally placed productive forces of the country depends on the efficiency of functioning and development of the economy.
