exploration.
Principles of projecting exploration
Legislation.
EG documents for calculating the carrying capacity, compressibility, stability of foundation soils.
Conditions for digging pits, making embankments, trenches -
dissolubility , workability, consolidating, etc.
Methods of investigation and assessment of foundation conditions for:
civil construction - residential units, buildings, utilities,
industrial construction - heavy facilities, heating plant, cold storage, etc.
communication construction - highways, roads, railways, bridges,
underground structures - tunnels, underground caverns,
hydrotechnical structures - dams, water pumping power plants, canals,
waste dump.
