RESEARCH FINDINGS OF ASH FROM NOVOSIBIRSK TPP-3 FOR APPLICATION IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AS A MATERIAL
The article considers the results of a field survey of the preserved section of the ash and slag dump of the Novosibirsk TPP-3 formed by the products of burning Kansk-Achinsk brown coals. The results of laboratory tests of the studied ash and slag mixtures are presented. In the course of the research, the strength characteristics of ash and slag mixtures depending on the degree of compaction and humidity, physical characteristics, and specific properties for road construction were determined. The suitability of the studied ash and slag as a ground material for the construction of embankments of the roadbed was evaluated and recommended cross profiles of the roadbed from ash and slag mixtures of Novosibirsk TPP-3 were developed.
