Development of seismic microzoning methodology for large-scale objects: advanced forecasting and increased resolution
One of the current trends in civil engineering market is the development of individual housing stock. Relevance. Demographic factor, investment attractiveness, encouraging legislative initiatives, as well as social and environmental aspects. The purchase of a site for development, assessment of landscape and geological conditions, formation and implementation of the project are entirely within the area of responsibility of private customer, which is usually limited in funds. The outline of residential building construction as the object of our research is selected on relatively flat and dry area, which is not criterion for the stability of engineering structure on clay soils and under the conditions of limited volume of engineering-geological and engineering-geophysical surveys. Aim. To develop the methodology for advanced forecast assessment of risk factors for increased mobility of the upper part of geological cross-section, which suspects minimal costs for these surveys from the direction of private developer. Problems. Additional quantitative estimations of these risk factors based on the data from completed stages of topographic, geodetic and engineering-geological surveys; application of standardized elements of seismic microzoning; qualitative and quantitative interpretation of remote sensing data; development of unified processing algorithm focused on the final cartographic project; instrumental verification of anomalous geological zones. Methods. Standardized elements of seismic microzoning methodology; peculiarity of large-scale object determines the use of original developments in detailed analysis of amplitude-frequency composition of remote sensing data and digital elevation model; risk zones are verified by electrical resistivity tomography method. Increasing the detail of the seismic microzoning due to proven express assessments of the remote sensing data and digital elevation model determines the novelty of our research. Results. Presented in the form of verification of risk discordant zones, identified with the mentioned express assessments, on the base of electrical resistivity tomography. Conclusions. Emphasize the maximum implementation of parametric assessments of the remote sensing data and digital elevation model in order to reduce the cost of preliminary geological and geophysical work as well as to minimize an expert participation in the analysis of primary data.
