Key points
- Reinforced soil beds can be used to build artificial foundations on weak soils.
- Existing calculation methods for compacted soil beds are often overestimated, increasing costs.
- Reinforced soil beds offer a more efficient and potentially less costly approach.

Abstract
Changing a layer of weak soil in deformed foundation with a compacted soil bed consisted of various strong materials (sand, gravel, pebble-gravel, production waste materials). Existing calculation methods and techniques to build compacted soil beds based on weak highly compressive soils do not meet up-to-date requirements. Calculation methods used the dimensions of compacted beds quite often appear to be overestimated, and this results in increase in costs and working hours needed to build artificial foundation. The paper presents the possibility of using reinforced soil beds as an efficient method to build artificial foundation based on weak soils.
