Before building the storm sewer networks the analysis of precipitation is very important. The issues of assessing the reliability of the information on the annual amounts of precipitation in the meteorological monitoring system of the KazHydroMet State Hydrometeorological Service of Kazakhstan are considered. An assessment is made of the homogeneity of the spatial correlation ...

Destructuring settlements due to frost heave during the structures’ exploitation are often not taken into account at the designing stage, although they are indirectly related to the bearing capacity of the soils. The objective of this research was analyzing the effect of the number of freezingthawing cycles on the strength characteristics of soils. A paired experiment with ...

Development of a geotechnical database for the young capital of Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan city, became a paramount concern of both the scientific community and industry. The creation of the Kazakhstan model of the geotechnical database was based on a fixed dataset which included a city map with determined X, Y, and H coordinates and the user generated data obtained from the ...

This article presents the detection of defects in bored piles with cross-section 1.2†1.5 m and length 10†53 m. PIT and Сross-hole Sonic Logging (CSL) methods were used to detect defects in piles. These works were carried out in the city of Nur-Sultan on LRT construction site. Integrity inspections performed after installation are often the most reasonable alternative ...

Buranbayeva, A.; Zhussupbekov, A.; Sarsembayeva, A.; Omarov, A. Evaluation of the Structural Health Monitoring Results of the Applied Fiber Optics in the Pile-Raft Foundations of a High-Rise Building. Appl. Sci. 2022, 12, 11728. https://doi.org/10.3390/ app122211728

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the bearing capacity of bored piles with a drilling displacement system (DDS), obtained by tests for static load and according to GOST standards, as well as the results of tests for compression of the surrounding soil after installing the pile with DDS. These DDS piles are created by rotary drilling with a ...

One of the most important and urgent problems is constructing roads in difficult soil conditions, ensuring their strength, reliability, and normal operation. To create an efficient and competitive transport infrastructure in Kazakhstan, the State Programme of Infrastructural Development “Nurly Zhol” for 2020–2025 was developed. Its main objectives are to improve the ...

Vapour mass transfer is often underestimated when designing the bases for structures in frost susceptible soils. Intensive and long-term vapour transport may lead to excessive frost heaving and associated issues. A vapour transport model and the algorithm of its calculation is presented in this study based on the results of experimental freeze–thaw cycles of nine soil samples ...

Laboratory and experimental tests in huge amount are required during engineering surveys for large and critical buildings and structures especially in complex geological conditions. The laboratory investigations are applicable in cases with no possibility for field tests. However, as a rule the results obtained from laboratory investigations (in particular compression tests) ...
