Abstract: 

The investigations are carried out with sandy, silty and clayey loess varieties from North Bulgaria. The obtained results manifest a significant increase of the compressive strength of loess-cement mixtures in time (1.5—5.0 times) in comparison with the standard test period (1 month). This is a favourable factor for wide and various application of this material. The methods included in the group of surface mixing (soil-cement cushions; impervious screens and protective facings) are developed and widely used in Bulgaria. Unfortunately, the group for deep stabilization (deep mixing method; jet-grouting and soil-cement piles) is only occasionally applied in Bulgaria. Deep mixing stabilization is of great promise in treatment of high collapsible loess bases, saturated loess, loess areas with high seismic intensity and different environmental applications.

Р. Ангелова. Долговременная прочность цементо-лессовых смесей благоприятный фактор для их приложения при укреплении лесса. Исследования проводились с песчаным, типичным и глинистым лессом из Северной Болгарии. Полученные результаты показывают значительное (1.5 5 раз) увеличение прочности цементо-лессовых смесей после длительных сроков твердения по сравнению со стандартным периодом испытания (1 месяц). Увеличенная прочность является благоприятным фактором для разнообразного и широкого приложения этого материала. Методы, относящиеся ко группе поверхностного смешивания (цементо-лессовые подушки; противофильтрационные экраны и покрытия) широко используются в Болгарии. К сожалению группа методов глубинного укрепления (глубинное смешивание, гидроструйное укрепление и цементо-грунтовые сваи) используются только в качестве исключения. Глубинное укрепление обещает дать хорошие результаты при обработке сильнопросадочных лессовых грунтов, водонасыщенных лессов, в лессовых районах с повышенной сеисмической активностью и при приложениях с екологическим акцентом.
