Summary
Consideration is given to the principles of engineering geological mapping of shelf and coast zones on the basis of experience of engineering geological investigations in the marginal zone of the Black Sea within Caucasus. Methods of engineering geological mapping at various stages of study are determined by the concrete problems of national economic development of sea coasts and, likewise, underwater construction in the littoral zone.
A radically new scheme of typological engineering geological mapping enables the definition of an optimum complex of investigations to compile maps of various scales for various-order regions in marginal zones of marine troughs.
The engineering geological mapping based on the proposed principles enables problems of submarine and coastal construction to be tackled efficiently in the marginal zones of marine troughs.
Résumé
On s'intéresse aux principes de la cartographie géotechnique du plateau continental et de la zone côtière, en s'appuyant sur l'expérience acquise lors des recherches géotechniques effectuées dans la zone marginale de la Mer Noire prés du Caucase. Les méthodes de cartographie géotechnique aux différentes phases de l'étude sont déterminées par les problèmes concrets du développement économique national des côtes et aussi par ceux de la construction sous-marine dans la zone littorale.
Une conception entièrement nouvelle de la cartographie géotechnique typologique permet de définir un ensemble optimal des investigations à faire pour obtenir par compilation des cartes de régions de types divers, à diverses échelles, dans les zones marginales des fosses marines. La cartographie géotechnique basée sur les principes ici proposés permet de s'attaquer avec efficacité aux problèmes de la construction sous-marine et côtière dans les zones marginales des fosses marines.
