ABSTRACT
The authors have developed a method of deep compaction of loess subsidence loams, which uses the energy of an earthquake (or earthquakes). The energy of earthquakes is commensurate with the energy of explosions, therefore, pre-humidification of the compacted subsidence layer during the seismically active period will improve the quality of soil compaction. Initially, the seismic activity of the territory is recorded. When the locking through drainage wells to a state of fluid consistency stops, deep explosions are produced in the wells. Under the conditions of seismic activity of the territory, physico-chemical processes in the soils are intensified due to the activation of geoelectromagnetic and geoacoustic fields. Under these conditions, capillary and mass transfer processes in soils are intensified. Therefore, during this period, it is most effective to carry out locks and explosions in the ground mass. Post-explosive consolidation of the main part of the deformation of the compacted subsidence array lasts at least 5-8 months. Such a long period is sufficient for the realization of a natural earthquake. Seismic activity during the consolidation of the subsidence array contributes to the consolidation of the subsidence array and accelerates the process. Any tangible earthquake is effective for the process of doubling the subsidence array. The efficiency of the use of earthquake energy in compaction of subsidence soils by hydraulic explosions is theoretically justified.
