Karst processes are one of the most dangerous natural and man-made processes. Due to the significant spread of karst in Russia, the assessment and monitoring of karst risks is an urgent problem. The solution to this problem may be the creation of a service to monitor karst processes taking place in the cities. The influence of karst processes is determined by the type of karst hazard. Karst danger of the territory is estimated on the basis of its complex studying with use of various engineering-geological methods. Given the significant costs of eliminating the consequences of karst failures, it is advisable to organize work on the prevention and monitoring of dangerous geological processes. The basis of this work will be the creation of an information system of the geological situation of the territory. This information system is implemented in three stages: 1. Establishment of regularities of karst development in the territory and determination of sequence of research by geophysical methods. 2. Collection of data on the geological situation, as well as the preparation of a program of permanent monitoring of the territory. 3. Programming and entering the data into the information system, which allows the formation of new maps and forecasts. The introduction of this information system will determine the area of potential development of the karst, thereby reducing the economic and environmental damage caused by these processes.

Over time, residential buildings under the influence of physical deterioration, as well as moral degradation need to be transformed. Experience in the redevelopment of residential buildings of the 1960s – 1990s. built in the Republic of Belarus, as well as in other countries of the former USSR, testifies to the significant resource intensity of this process, which is due to a certain “rigidity” of the structural and technical characteristics of the reconstructed buildings. Given that during the life cycle global housing redevelopment measures may be needed every 30–35 years, questions of reducing resource intensity during this type of work are an important factor in optimizing the process of operating the housing complex as a whole.

In recent years, competition has increased among leading universities for leadership. The competition affects the architectural environment of the university campus. So what trends have helped to shape university campuses in recent years? 1.Starchitecture. Contemporary Campus Design(2018), universities continue to be drawn by the allure of the world-renowned architects known as the “starchitects”. 2. Adaptive reuse– a model that, according to its advocates, can be more environmentally friendly and cost-effective and is far more sensitive to the local landscape. 3. Sustainability. Sustainable development consists of balancing local and global efforts to meet basic human needs without destroying or degrading the natural environment. “The greenest building is the one that’s already built”, but a desire to build sustainably is still a huge influence on the creation of new university structures. 4. Shared use. One way to address the underuse of university buildings is by sharing them with other organisations. This can help to save money and reduce the university’s carbon footprint. 5. Informal, flexible learning spaces. The shift away from lecture theatres is a definite trend. Online learning is transforming the spaces that universities are building. There is noting a rise in student demand for “hub buildings”, which “comprise informal learning spaces, social spaces, IT facilities, dining areas and counselling [services]” 6. The allure of the city- a city centre location looks increasingly desirable to universities intent on satisfying the demands of students. According to the authors of the article, the use of the above principles in the design of campuses will increase their competitiveness.

The low-Thickness aeration zone in the loess soils of Rostov-on-Don is favorable for underflooding. Active civil engineering in the groundwater discharge zone generates a delayed geological risk of seepage and underflooding. To increase the reliability of hydrogeological forecasts, the materials of engineering and geological surveys have been analyzed and summarized, and a conceptual hydrogeological model of the near-river part of the Temernik River has been developed. The model describes the geological structure, boundary conditions of geofiltration, ranges of changes in soil filtration properties. To refine the hydrogeological parameters and reduce the uncertainty of the model, multivariate numerical modeling is planned.

During the construction or reconstruction of buildings and structures in dense urban areas it is necessary to perform geotechnical monitoring of buildings surrounding buildings, in order to determine the compliance of the projected and actual values of precipitation and their relation to the permissible normative values. The accuracy and the cyclical nature of geophysical measurements should be carried out in accordance with the requirements of SP 22.13330.2011 foundations of buildings and structures. The updated edition of SNiP 2.02.01-83* [2]. The need to perform geotechnical monitoring is also due to the timely detection of unacceptable additional sediment buildings surrounding buildings and prevent the development of defects and deformations caused by these precipitation. Due to the regular monitoring cycles, it is possible to predict the growth of additional sediments or stabilize them. In case of increase of additional precipitation of buildings of surrounding building up to maximum permissible values and availability of the forecast of its further increase it is necessary to carry out actions for their geotechnical protection. In case of stabilization of additional sediment of buildings of surrounding building, implementation of measures for geotechnical protection is not required, which in turn does not entail additional financial and time costs during construction. The article gives an example of geotechnical monitoring on the reconstruction object in conditions of dense urban development. The results of its implementation are given. The analysis of occurrence of additional sediment buildings surrounding buildings. The necessity of implementation of measures on geotechnical protection is defined. The economic efficiency of geotechnical monitoring on this object is given. The results of the study may be useful in carrying out geotechnical monitoring at other sites in dense urban areas, as show that the additional sediment of adjacent buildings may not always be caused only by the construction works. And in case of timely stabilization of additional sediments, it is possible to avoid additional financial and time costs, thanks, inter alia, to the results of geotechnical monitoring.
