 A significant part of Rostov region and North Caucasus regions of the built-over territories according to its settlement consists of I and II type loess soil.
     The author develops a method for optimal parameters determination of the stabilized loess bases under the influence of different factors (loads, emergency steeping, ground waters level alteration etc.). Selection of optimality criteria depends on the applicable method of technical melioration. Determinative limitation is the calculation upon the II group of limit states. Application of non-linear mechanical and mathematical models for calculation of structural and unstable soils upon deformations is recommended.
     Silicification stabilizing of loess soils is almost impossible at the filtration coefficient of K<0.1 m/day.
     Characteristics of the fixed massive depend on soil moisture level, injection mode, density of sodium silicate solution, time of injection and volume of solution.
     Determinative conditions for the possibility of soils injection stabilizing with cement or other solutions are the following: geometric criterion (cement particles size and soil pores size, determined by the active openness), solution viscosity in relation to density, injection pressure, water-cement ratio, filtration coefficient. The most common pores in loess soils are active pores of 20 micron diameter, quantity of which comprises 20-50% of total soil openness. Solution-conductive (active openness) are the pores of more than 0.01 mm at size.
     Selection of stabilizing method depends on the form of the stabilized area.
     The author, basing on variation principles of mechanics of constructive and non-linear systems and theory of adaptive evolution of mechanical systems, developed determination method of rational form of the stabilized basal complex. Specific feature of the developed model is increasing of bearing capacity, stability and location of stabilizing area with more specific accuracy level within soil. To detect stress-deformed state in bases of buildings and constructions there are elaborated programs in APDL languages in the ANSYS software environment.
