The construction of unique structures is complicated by the fact that codes and standards do not exactly apply to such structures. This paper presents an overview of the analysis, design, wind tunnel testing and field monitoring of a 70 m high monument that was constructed in the capital city of Nur-Sultan in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This overview constitutes a useful ...

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 ...

The bearing capacity and settlement of pile foundation were greatly influenced by the temperature variations of soil ground around pile foundation. This paper presented a short report about laboratory static load tests by model precast concrete piles (cross-section 4 × 4 cm and length of 60 cm) in seasonally freezing soil ground. The depth of frozen soil was 10 cm, temperature ...

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) ...

Estimation of bearing capacity and settlement plays an essential role in designing pile foundations of buildings. This paper presents the results of pile static and dynamic loading tests taken place in the construction sites of Caspian Sea Port Prorva and Tengiz. The static loading tests (SLT) and static compression loading tests (SCLT) were carried out according to the ...

Due to the fact that in the winter period, which in the Northern regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan lasts up to 6 months, and in the Southern regions – up to 4 months, construction companies are forced to suspend construction and installation works on the foundations. As a result, the total duration of construction of facilities increases, which leads to additional ...

High-rise buildings pose new challenges for engineers, especially in the field of calculations and design of above-ground structures, bases and foundations. Some consideration the anticipated responses to adjacent buildings during construction are presented. This will require the design professional to survey the condition of the adjacent properties to understand their ...

The design of shallow foundations is performed in accordance with different building regulations depending on geotechnical and geological conditions. This paper involves the design calculations applying Kazakhstani and European approaches. The design of shallow foundations in Nur-Sultan city in Kazakhstan was implemented by the calculation of bearing capacity and elastic settlement ...
