Geotechnical Monitoring in the Urban Construction Environment

The article deals with the issues of an integrated approach to the implementation of geotechnical monitoring in complex engineering and geological conditions, taking into account construction in urban areas. In the example of a particular case of construction, it is shown that an important element of integrated geotechnical monitoring is the mandatory implementation of an engineering–geological forecast, including the calculation of the zone of influence of the object under construction and predictive calculations of the stability of surrounding buildings and structures, taking into account the obtained observational data with the obligatory use of several proven geotechnical programs and calculation methods. Integrated geotechnical monitoring should include several independent measuring and controlled systems, which should complement each other and ensure structural safety at all stages of construction and operation of the structure.
