Influence of natural and technogenic factors on the complexity of construction of timber highways

Abstract

Abstract The article discusses the issues of assessing the possibility of road construction using engineering-landscape zoning. The complexity of the conditions for the construction of a lumber road, the value of agricultural land and territories of various economic uses, and the location of territorial complexes are determined. The dependence for calculating the total unit cost of road construction is presented. The work has shown a correlation analysis, which made it possible to establish the most important characteristics of the components of the geographic environment, which affect the complexity of the construction of a timber haul road by type of cost. The graphs characterizing the changes in the cost of expenses by type of work are presented, depending on the characteristics of the relief, water erosion, types of soil, population density. Using the dependence graphs, it seems possible to determine the basic cost of building one kilometer of the road by type of work. The basic cost is determined by the dependence that has a greater correlation ratio.
