The development of ways to create a solid base for laying the track structure becomes especially relevant in conditions of the heavy-train traffic. This work presents feasibility studies of using a cold regeneration soil method for strengthening the main subgrade site. The advantages of this method are identified by the creation of models of production processes for soil-cement layers of various thickness. The main performance indicators are analyzed and compared with similar indicators of the most used engineering solutions for strengthening the subgrade working area: soft soil replacing and creation of a protective layer from a rubble-sand-gravel mixture reinforced with a geocell.The obtained results allow determining the following parameters: the number of employees, length of employment, outputs, productivity, labor costs, wages, costs of machine and mechanism operation, materials and works.Based on the results, a conclusion is made that there is an obvious advantage of the cold regeneration soil method for all parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
