Experience in Engineering Geological Mapping of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Scale 1:1,500,000

Abstract

The Engineering Geological Map of the Republic Sakha (Yakutia) covers about 3 million square km which is one-fifth of the territory of Russia. The map displays ground and geocryological conditions and active faults. Seismic intensity, schemes of zoning by factors of engineering geological conditions, and the general scheme of engineering geological zoning of the Republic Sakha (Yakutia,) or the RS(Y), are shown on the in- set maps. The map is required to provide information for planning, construction and exploitation of engineering structures in the RS(Y). A distinguishing feature of the map is theindication of almost blanket distribution of the frozen ground class. Types of the frozen ground class are separated by lithology, while ground varieties are separated by temperature. Fresh and ultra-fresh suprapermafrost waters are predominant within the territory. The compiled map indicates parts of the Arctic-Asian and Baikalo-Stanovoi planetary seismic belts that make engineering geological conditions more complicated.
