AMARYAN L.S. - FOUNDER OF TVER SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL PEAT AND PEAT MECHANICS (ON THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OF BIRTH)
L.S. Amaryan (1929 - 2012) - the founder of the Tver scientific school in the field of peat mechanics and peat deposits. During the Kalinin period of his life, he developed original methods and instruments for studying the structural- mechanical properties of less-decomposed peat and peat deposits. In the Moscow period L.S. Amaryan developed methods and equipment for assessing the carrying capacity of weak soils during the construction of roads and facilities for exploration and production of oil and gas in Siberia. Research complexes created by L.S. Amaryan with the participation of KPI scientists are applied in the practice of engineering and geological surveys. The results of the work were summarized in his monographs.
