The Department of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering was formed in 2013 as a result of the reorganization of the Department of Soil Mechanics, Foundations and Foundations and the accession of the Department of Underground Construction and Hydrotechnical Works.
The department carries out
- Scientific support of zero-cycle projects with a theoretical and theoretical substantiation, constructive solutions for foundations of high-rise buildings erected in deep pits;
- Expertise of zero-cycle projects;
- Comprehensive survey of foundations and above-ground structures of buildings and structures and issuing recommendations;
- Engineering and geological surveys in field and laboratory conditions (compression, shear, triaxial compression) for reconstructed and projected construction objects with the performance of geotechnical calculations, including: calculation of sediment and basement rolls (tape, free-standing, slab, plate-pile and t .d.) calculation of the stability of the bottom and sides of deep pits, taking into account their fencing, as well as their impact on the surrounding buildings and structures, taking into account the nonlinear and rheological properties of soils;
- Calculation and design of any types of foundations;
- Calculation and design of pits fences;
- Calculation and design of strengthening the bases and foundations of emergency and reconstructed buildings.
A specialized council for the defense of doctoral and master’s theses operates on the basis of the Department headed by Professor Z.G. Ter-Martirosyan. It operates in the following specialties:
- 05.23.02 - “Foundations and Foundations, Underground Structures”;
- 25.00.20 - "Geomechanics and the destruction of rocks";
The department trains
- Bachelors in the direction 08.03.01 Civil Engineering. Profile: Construction engineering, energy, hydrotechnical and environmental facilities.
- Specialists in the direction of 08.05.01 Construction of unique buildings and structures. Specialization: Construction of underground structures.
- Master's degree 08.04.01 Civil Engineering.
- Professional educational program: Soil mechanics, geotechnics and geo-ecology.
- Postgraduate students in the direction of 08.06.01 Engineering and construction technology. Program: Soil mechanics and geotechnics.
