How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The problem of construction of the Big Almaty Ring Road (BAKAD) in conditions of the possibility of flooding by ground and external waters is considered. The hydrogeological conditions of this site and general constructive solutions of the embankments, according to the working project, were considered. When designing structures on these collapsible soils, one should consider the possibility of increasing their moisture content by soaking the soil from above from external water sources. Taking this into account, it is necessary to provide for a set of measures, including the elimination of subsidence properties. Having studied the experience of road construction in Kazakhstan, as well as the design data and geological conditions of the project “BAKAD”, as well as analyzing the results of laboratory soil studies and the results of field stamp tests. And regarding the test results was recommended constructive technological solution with using geosynthetics materials.
