The concept of creating perspective technological paradigm of formation (development) of the underground space on the basis of the leading development of new approaches in construction geotechnology and geotechnics. Premises and basic provisions (part 1)

The article presents some reasons for the lagging of domestic mining engineering from foreign competitors, substantiates the need to form a new promising technological paradigm in the field of formation and development of underground space. A new systematic approach to the development of geotechnics and geotechnologies is proposed, which allows for creation of prerequisites for formation of a new technological structure and Russia's breakthrough into leading positions in the field of geotechnology and mining engineering.
