Review article

The article presents the results of an analytical review of existing studies of domestic and foreign authors on the effect of oil contamination of sandy soils on their filtration properties and granulometric composition. The influence of the granulometric composition on the filtration properties of sandy soils contaminated with petroleum products and the influence of the concentration of petroleum products on the change in the filtration coefficient of sandy soils is determined. It is concluded that the filtration coefficient of sandy soils decreases when they are contaminated with oil products, which should be taken into account when predicting settlement in time, as well as changes in the bearing capacity of the foundation.
