Abstract :

In this article presents the work carried out to protect roads passing through sandy areas from moving sands and recommendations for computer modeling of means of protection from moving sands for the conditions of Uzbekistan. The flow of wind and sand interacts with any type of obstacles installed on the ground, which in turn causes erosion, sand displacement around them, and subsidence on the surface after the wind subsides. This can lead to harmful consequences, such as the loss of functionality of a structure or infrastructure at risk. For example, vehicles and pedestrians could be made more difficult or restricted and could even be dangerous to users in the event of design failures.
