Features of engineering and geological surveys in the conditions of dense city building

Engineering and geological conditions of the reconstructed territories are the important city-regulating factors in the development of master plans and land use as well as the development rules. They should be taken into account both at the pre-investment stage, and at the stages of the construction projects conceptual and working designs’ development. Data on the exposure degree to hazardous engineering and geological processes make it possible to determine the reconstructed site investment attractiveness degree, choose an effective organizational and technological solution for the urban development reconstruction, and make predictive calculations of changes in the stress-strain state of the buildings and structures depending on changes in soil conditions, such as subsidence and physical and mechanical soil properties.
