Potential risks in the practice of geotechnical modeling of construction objects under the influence of international sanctions

Abstract

Relevance. Of particular importance for reducing the risks of construction work is the geotechnical forecast of the impact of the construction of a buried structure on the existing development, communications and assessment of soil deformation. The departure from the Russian market of foreign software systems in the field of geotechnical modeling threatens the very possibility of pre-project and design studies of unique and complex construction projects. Materials and methods. The object of the study is modern software systems of foreign and domestic production used in the construction of technically complex and potentially dangerous facilities. The subject of the study is risk situations inherent in all innovations and generated by management decisions to adapt the Russian construction industry to external attempts to create conditions for international isolation, in particular, in the field of high technologies. Results. The paper grouped and described the best foreign software systems used for geotechnical modeling of a construction site. Potential risks are identified in case of termination of the use of licensed foreign programs. Conclusions. The use of domestic software systems and unlicensed software systems will not only reduce the accuracy of designing and assessing the level of impact of new construction on existing buildings and structures, as well as communications, but will also cast doubt on the very possibility of building technically complex facilities. Another group of risks is concentrated in assigning mandatory application of the status of “recommendatory document” to regulatory documents. According to the authors, the best way out of this situation is to initiate the process of active development of a competitive market for domestic software systems in parallel with the use of legally temporarily permitted unlicensed programs. Also — the creation of special conditions for the work of specialists in the field of IT-programming.
