Abstrakt: Conclusions 1.When studying the properties of mealy dolomites as a material of earth dams and embankments of hydraulic structures it is necessary to take into consideration that the structure of the artifically compressed dolomitic soil has a substantial effect on its physical and mechanical characteristics.2.Dolomitic soil compressed with a water content higher than the optimal has a mobile structure, promoting an increase of its compressibility and self-strengthening in shear due to repacking of the mineral particles.3.The difference in the structures and deformation properties of saturated dolomitic soil compressed at an optimal water content and water content higher than the optimal is observed in the range of values of the unit dry weight 1500–1950 kg/m3, beyond the limits of which they become the same.
