Аннотация:GIS-project ‘‘World experience in site investigation and construction under different
engineering-geological conditions’’ includes numerous data on engineering objects
(engineering structures), and contains more than 20 layers divided into three blocks. Base
layers include geographical and geological maps of the World and Russia, forming the first
block of information. Map of engineering-geological structures of the Earth is the second
block, it consists of 8 layers. The intersection of these layers gives taxonomic units of
engineering-geological zoning of the four hierarchical levels. Engineering objects (buildings,
dams, reservoirs, bridges, tunnels, etc.) form the third block. Attributive table contains data
on every object and on its engineering-geological conditions: relief, composition and
properties of foundation rocks, underground water, geological processes, the difficulties that
arise upon construction, as well as the source data. This GIS-project can be used as a
reference database and in educational activity.
