Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Results are presented for multiyear (1968-2000) moisture-content monitoring of constructions and soil beds of buildings in the Moscow Kremlin, which was conducted with use of neutron moisture meters in combination with georadiolocation and geophysical-prospecting methods. The interrelation between the physical characteristics investigated and the deformations of buildings and the geologic conditions of the setting is indicated.
