Abstract
The features of the tectonic structure together with the geological and geomorphological zoning of Kyiv city are highlighted in the article. Particular attention is paid to the floodplains of the Dnieper River, which were formed by the hydraulic fill method. As a rule, such sites were created for new constructions and were quickly built up with low rise buildings, the bases of which were made using such hydraulic soils. Completed engineering-geological investigations of sites after hydraulic filling and observation of the base deformation over time allowed setting of the basic regularity and rules for construction on such territories. The ongoing development of the city has also covered these territories, where high-rise buildings, shopping malls, and other buildings are actively being built, and the loads from these must be transferred to reliable bases.
Highlights
One of the directions of Kyiv's territorial development is to find ways of utilizing land generally unsuited to construction
The investigation site for this study, which was used for research within the international Pile-test program, is located on a hydraulic fill territory administratively located in the northern part of Kyiv city and is indicated by Redchinskaya and Bogatyrskaya streets
The main aim of the study is to investigate the features of the River Dnieper floodplain soil formation within the limits of Kyiv city through analysis of the basic methods of soil hydraulic fill used in Kyiv, based on archive experimental data analysis of the basic characteristics of hydraulic fill soils within the Dipro river floodplain, and show possible foundation deformations of buildings which were built on these territories
Summary
One of the directions of Kyiv's territorial development is to find ways of utilizing land generally unsuited to construction. Many cities have been located on the banks of rivers and in their floodplains. Large areas of these territories become submerged.
