Abstract
The “Novovolyns’k” profile represents the NW part of the Volyn’ Upland with a typical loess relief and a thick Upper Pleistocene loess-soil series that has distinct stratification and wide development of palaeocryogenic deformations (structural as well as non-structural). The results of the engineering-geological study are discussed for each horizon of the soil-loess series/ Namely their individuality manifested in the high values of humidity and density, and in almost complete absence of subsidence. The properties of the rocks in the profile are correlated with the properties of the rocks from other profiles at the Volyn’ Upland. Key words: loess-soil series, engineering-geological properties, loess, palaeosoil, palaeocryogenic horisons.
