Resumen
The results of the experiments on ultrasonic monitoring of structure-forming processes in clayey grounds are considered in the paper. An effect of structure-forming processes on propagation velocity of longitudinal waves has been demonstrated. The approximating equations, taking into account the time-dependence of the velocity, have been derived. It has been revealed that the structure-forming processes run most actively at certain density values of the soil skeleton. An explanation to this fact has been suggested from the standpoint of the theory of ion-electrostatic interaction between dispersed particles.
