Increasing the Load Capacity of Ground Forest Roads

Abstract

The efficiency of timber transport is determined by the availability and quality of forest roads, the rhythm of work and high speeds of timber transport vehicles. A significant part of the harvested timber is transported on unpaved soil roads, the condition of which directly depends on weather and climate conditions, bearing capacity and durability of the roads. The article presents methods for strengthening various types of soil. Organic complex stabilizers, inorganic binders and by-products of the chemical industry were used as materials for strengthening. The design features of road structures made of stabilized soils are considered.
