Climatic condition effect on building construction in the Republic of Kalmykia

Abstract

Purpose : The aim of the paper is to study and analyze the influence of climatic conditions on the building construction in the territory of the Republic of Kalmykia. Methodology/approach : A combination of different research methods, including the data analysis and synthesis, comparative method, method of induction and deduction; the related literature review. Research find ings: It is shown that difficult geological factors such as destruction of the upper layer of the lithosphere immersed in the formation of small particles of quartz, sand, contribute to the formation of dust, which must be considered in the construction of industrial and civil objects. Particular attention is paid to small openings and areas where these particles can pass. A thorough preparation of a building, its waterproofing and dust insulation leads to an increase in the building cost, which affects the economic indicators in the region. Groundwater and salinization also affect the repair and investment in construction and housing and communal services in the region. Practical implications : The research results can be used in theoretical studies and practice of the influence of climatic conditions on the building construction.
