Abstract

The results are presented of integrated strength and stability tests of fortress structures at the Moscow Kremlin and adjacent structures in the section from the Troitskaya tower to the Spasskaya tower. Results of geotechnical simulation are analyzed and geodetic observation archive materials are presented. A need is demonstrated for activities to protect beds and foundations.
