ZONING OF THE CITY TERRITORY TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE ENGINEERING AND GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

The issue of zoning the territory taking into account engineering and geological conditions, including urban ones, continues to be one of the most important in engineering geology. Experience shows that in the practice of surveys and design of quarterly urban development, the type of soil and geological conditions are not taking into account enough. This leads to an irrational use of the natural possibilities of the grounds for the construction of reliable and sustainable buildings and structures. The zoning of the territory, namely the conditional division of soil layers into separate schemes facilitates the process of designing buildings and structures when selecting foundations. Based on the experience of scientists dealing with the problem of zoning territories, the article considers an example of the development of a geoinformation database for the analysis of geotechnical properties of soils and special geotechnical maps. In addition, based on the field description of soils and the results of laboratory tests, the authors studied the engineering and geological features of the soil foundations of the objects of Pavlodar, as a result of which the soils of the city were classified taking into account the determination of their physical and mechanical properties.
