Assessment of the Reasons of Deformations of Structures Built on Man-Made Soils of the Abakan Agglomeration

The construction of structures on man-made soils within the Abakan agglomeration is accompanied by defor-mations and accidental destruction. Generalization of the results of engineering surveys, study of the technical condition of structures, and creation of a map of engineering and geological zoning of the territory allow the op-timization the construction development of urban areas, to design the reliable schemes of engineering protection against manifestations of dangerous engineering and geological processes. The aim of the work is to explain the causes of deformations of structures built on man-made soils. Methods: collection, systematization and analysis of available territorial geological information and engineering survey results. The conditions, natural and manmade factors of the formation and development of deformations are considered. The analysis of the collected da- ta allowed establishing the regional characteristics of the components of the natural and man-made environment, which will become the basis for the zoning of the territory for the purpose of construction development and en- gineering protection.
