CONSTRUCTION WORK AND ASSESSMENT OF SEISMIC HAZARD LEVEL IN LIBERATED TERRITORIES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF JABRAYIL AND AGHDAM REGIONS)

Abstract

Following the end of the Second Karabakh War, the Azerbaijani government promptly initiated the restoration of essential infrastructure and main communication lines in the liberated territories. Large-scale and rapid reconstruction efforts are successfully ongoing. It is essential to carry out localized engineering-seismogeological investigations in the designated areas, including the construction sites in Jabrayil and Aghdam districts, which have been selected as research zones. The construction site planned in the Jabrayil district is located in the Mil plain, covering an area along the Araz River. The geomorphological structure of the area and the modern structural-denudational relief are products of the Late New Caspian stage and are still in the process of formation. In the territory of the Mil plain, modern relief forms—such as depressions, river valleys, river terraces, structural and erosional steps—have formed under the general background of recent tectonic movements and as a result of intensive erosion-denudation processes. In the studied area, the development of relief-forming processes depends on the hypsometric elevation, the lithological composition of the rocks, the amount of atmospheric precipitation, and other factors. Considering the relevance of the study, the engineering seismo-geological conditions of the area were assessed based on the data from 200 geological exploration boreholes in Jabrayil and 180 in Aghdam, as well as the results of seismic exploration using the Refraction Seismic Method (RSM) and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW), based on the seismic properties of the soils, their classification was determined.
