The results of research on the development of methods for increasing the efficiency of monitoring the channel deformations of mountain rivers using the methods of aerospace studies of the Earth and geoinformation systems are presented. Examples are given of estimating channel deformations, compiling morphological characteristics of the valley, floodplain and river bed, ...

Skin friction distribution occurs due to a relative movement between pile and adjacent soil. Varied factors affecting this movement get the soil to, occasionally, settle more than that of the pile. In this case, negative skin friction distributes along some part of the pile's shaft. Primary consolidation begins after applying surcharge load on ground surface next to pile’s ...

This study examines the etymology of the principal physiographic entities of the ancient Sary-Arka area– meaning in the old Turkic language Yellowing Ridge – encompassing the present territory of parkland-steppes, rocky highlands and the adjacent mountains of North and East Kazakhstan.
