In this study, lime stabilization and geocell reinforcement methods were investigated for a clayey subgrade of unpaved road at different water contents. This study is especially important in terms of determining the soil improvement method for road construction on wet lands. The effects of the geocell height (50, 100, 150, and 200 mm) and lime content (3, 6, and 12%) on the settlement of the subgrade soil at different water contents (25, 28, 30, 32, and 35%) were analyzed. Accordingly, a large scale plate loading test was designed, and it is utilized to achieve loading-settlement curves. The bearing capacity and modulus of subgrade (k) of soil were determined. It was detected that the geocell height and lime content have different effects at different water contents, and the modulus of subgrade reaction became stable beyond a constant height of the geocell. It was understood that none of these two improvements did not meet the Highways Technical Specifications. It is detected that at least these two improvement techniques are needed to be applied together to meet the specifications for the soil examined in this study.

Laboratory studies to investigate the effect of Bagasse Ash (BA) admixture on the engineering properties of lime treated black cotton soil was carried out. Black cotton soil is classified as A-7-6 or CH respectively. Bagasse ash is obtained from burning the fibrous residue from the extraction of sugar juice from sugarcane. The results obtained show that the moisture density relationship follows a trend of increasing optimum moisture content (OMC)/decreasing maximum dry density (MDD) at the Standard Proctor compaction energy. California bearing ratio (CBR) values obtained are lower than the 80% CBR criterion for untreated base course materials. The peak CBR value obtained was 31% at 8 %lime/ 4%BA. This value meets the recommended criteria for subgrade materials. The Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) at 7 days is lower than the 1034.25kN/m2 evaluation criterion for adequate lime stabilization. On the basis of the soaked CBR and durability values, it is recommended that black cotton soil can be stabilized for road construction using a 8 % lime/ 4 % BA blend of admixture at standard proctor compaction. However, due to the relative high cost of lime and large quantity that shall be required to achieve stabilization, further study and consideration should therefore be given to the use another additive such as cement to augment and lower the percentage of lime and thus the cost of stabilization.

The research was carried out within the framework of the theme of state assignment № 0593–2019–0008 «To develop theoretical foundations for creating composite mixtures for bakery products using physical methods of exposure that ensure homogeneity, stability of mixtures and bioavailability of nutrients, to optimize diets population of Russia». The data on the species belonging of new strains of lactic acid bacteria and yeast isolated from samples of good quality gluten-free starter cultures are presented. A comparative assessment of the antagonistic and acid-forming activity of strains of lactic acid bacteria and the fermentative activity of yeast was carried out. The composition of microbial compositions from selected strains of LAB and yeast was developed. The influence of the starter culture on the new microbial composition on the physicochemical, organoleptic indicators of the bread quality and resistance to mold and ropy-disease was investigated.

Budget Expenditure

The most important measures stimulating the increase of efficiency and effectiveness of budget expenditures on road construction are the improvement of pricing mechanisms and increasing efficiency of the procedures of government purchases of goods, works and services. The paper includes the analysis of main problems that arise in the process of government purchases and construction pricing with the reference to budget expenditure on road construction. It includes the review and analysis of international experience and possible measures of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of government purchases and (road) construction pricing in Russia.

Ruling Elites

The article deals with the issues of political and economic power as well as their constellation on the market. The theory of public choice and the theory of public contract are confronted with an approach centered on the power triad. If structured in the power triad, interactions among states representatives, businesses with structural advantages and businesses without structural advantages allow capturing administrative rents. The political power of the ruling elites coexists with economic power of certain members of the business community. The situation in the oil and gas industry, the retail trade and the road construction and operation industry in Russia illustrates key moments in the proposed analysis.
