The paper presents the effect of deformation temperature on the mechanical stability of retained austenite in a multiphase TRIP steel. Series of static tensile tests were carried out in the temperature range –20 to 140°C in order to simulate the temperatures occurring during stamping process of automotive steel sheets and conditions of their exploitation. Samples deformed at 20°C and 60°C showed the best combination of strength and ductility. It was related to the gradual transformation of retained austenite into martensite. Obtained results revealed that the intensity of TRIP effect is significantly related to the deformation temperature. The amount of retained austenite, which transformed into martensite during plastic deformation decreases as the deformation temperature increases. It was also found that the stability of retained austenite depends on its morphology. The obtained results showed the relationship between deformation temperature and the stability of retained austenite. The chemical composition and microstructure of multiphase steels dedicated to the automotive industry should be designed for providing the maximum TRIP effect at the specific deformation temperatures.

To guarantee a durable pavement construction that only needs a little care, it is crucial to manage problematic soil conditions properly and prepare the foundation. Some organizations remove soils since they have realized they do not function as well as other materials (for example, a state specification dictating that frost susceptible loess could not be present in the frost penetration zone). Nevertheless, there are more advantageous or desirable courses of action than this (e.g., excavation might create a disturbance, plus additional issues of disposal and removal). The subgrade conditions described in the preceding section may be improved by stabilization, offering an alternative solution. It is impossible to overstate the importance of ensuring a homogeneous soil profile in terms of density, moisture content, and textural categorization in the top section of the subgrade. Thru soil sub-cutting or other stabilizing methods, this consistency may be attained. Additionally, stabilization may be utilized to prevent swelling in expansive materials, create a weather-resistant work platform, enhance soil workability, and limit issues with frost heave. Alternative stabilizing techniques will be discussed in this part, and advice for choosing the best technique will be adequately provided. The current review paper aims to identify bridge issues related to soft soil and takes two ways of soft soil stabilization: chemical and mechanical. The finding of both methods show that the compressive strength and settlement have been improved after using waste materials; therefore, using waste materials as a cement replacement is considered one of the expansive utilized methods in most construction applications and bridges of that applications.
