FIELD-BASED ENGNEERNG GEOLOGCAL INVESTIGATION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF TEN-STORY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS ON NEZAVISIMOSTI STREET IN CHERNIHIV
Urgency of the research. The building construction should not begin without engineering geologicalinvestigation (research) on the areas, allocated for the construction of buildings and structures. In this regard, such researches are always relevant.Target setting.Almost the whole territory of Chernihiv and Chernihiv region is covered with the quaternary sediments, which have different thicknesses and lithological composition, and it is considered a negative factor in the construction of various construction projects. Because of that, each construction site (area) needs to study its geological and hydrogeological conditions in details.Actual scientific researches and issues analysis.Recent open access publications have been reviewed.Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Picture of distribution, thickness and lithology of Quaternary sediments is a general complex insufficiently solved problem for Chernihiv region.The research objective.Study of the geological structure and the hydrogeological conditions in the area for the construc-tion of three ten-story residential buildings on Nezalezhnosti Street in Chernihiv.The statement of basic materials. According to the geomorphology, the studied area is located on the Chernihiv-Go-rodnyansky Moraine-outwash plain coast near the water-divide part of the Stryzhen and the Belous rivers. According to tec-tonic zoning, it belongs to the axial zone of the north-western part of the Dnieper-Donetsk depression. In the geological sec-tions, based on the results of processing materials in drilling and cone penetrometer test, 11 engineering and geological elements (EGE) were identified. The geologic cross-sectio n up to a depth of 20 m is composed of modern technological, upper-and middle-quaternary sediments. The hydrogeological conditions of the area are determined by the ground water of a non-pressure type that is located at a depth of 3-3.5 m in general; moreover, the area belongs to Category II in terms of the complexity of engineering and geological conditions. Conclusions. Based on the surveys performed, it was found that the soil thickness on the area is heterogeneous, that is confirmed by the allocation of 11 engineering and geological elements in it. EGE 2,3-6 soils are subsidence under additional loads. The ground water is non-aggressive to all grades of concrete, cement, and reinforced concrete structures.
