Abstract:
The article presents the results of the study of rheological characteristics of the Sarmatian clays of Moldova. The values of the creep threshold were determined; the main factors, which af ect its value, were identified: the experimental dependences of the creep threshold on vertical pressure and consistency were obtained. The calculating values of strength characteristics of soils were settled to assess the long-term stability of slopes and to carry out rheological analysis with the aim of assessing the possible development of creep deformations.
