The article deals with the current problem of increasing the efficiency of road construction on weak soils. When erecting transport facilities in swamps, it is necessary to take into account the complex natural and climatic conditions of construction, the high degree of compressibility of peat soils and the high cost of work. In addition to the features of soil conditions that affect the stability of roads in swamps, it is necessary to improve the methodology for calculating the behavior of the embankment on a weak peat base and the technology for their construction. The high cost of construction and the increased labor intensity of the construction of transport infrastructure on swamps and soils require the development of new design solutions. The issue of choosing a calculation model for assessing the stability of the embankment on a weak peat base is being considered. It is proposed to take into account in the calculation model the inertial component that occurs when filling the embankment. An original technology for erecting a road embankment on a swamp has been developed.
