Description
Summary:The need for subdivision of projects into geotechnical categories for practical design and geologicengineering surveys has been looming for some time now. It is comforting that in our country, we are setting about to develop a document regulating assessment of the geotechnical complexity of the bed-structure system [1]. In Russia, the concept "Geotechnical category of a construction project" (GCCP) was first utilized in the Moscow City Building Codes MGSN 2.07.-97. Somewhat later, A. G. Shashkin and L. K. Tikhomirova proposed to isolate three geotechnical categories for work on reconstruction. They linked the composition and volume of geologic-engineering studies with the geotechnical categories [2]. It is obvious that the GCCP should account for the complexity of the geologic-engineering conditions of the area in which the project is located. Until now, however, no classification of geologic-engineering conditions had ever been developed.
