Scientific rationaleof environment oriented technologies, processing and disposal of man-made wastes in hydrotechnical construction.

New designs of dams made from particularly skinny pressed concrete and stone reinforced with cement for semi-rock and soil foundation.

Participation in scientific rationale of the major dams and hydropower projects: Boguchanskaya (Russia), Nurekskaya and Rogunskaya (Tajikistan), Teri (India).

Implementation of scientific rationale of the large dams and hydrosites: Guavio and jel-1 (Colombia), Markabeli, Chongon, Tambo and Salve-Facha (Ecuador), Dzhedra (Algeria) and Dzhurdan (Jordan).

Developing new two-phase viscous-elastic asphalt model. It was applied in security assessment of the construction of a stone-fill dam Boguchanskaya hydro-electric power plant.

Developing new method and programme for the joint analysis of stress and consolidation of elastic-plastic soil of dams and grounds. They were applied in a number of dam projects in Russia and abroad.

Development and scientific rationale of new constructions of gravitational dams made from particularly skinny pressed concrete which have been applied in the design and construction of some similar dams abroad.

Development and scientific rationale of new constructions of high-pressure swirling discharge sluices that have been used in design of the Rogun hydroelectric power plant in Tajikistan and construction of hydro-electric power plant Teri in India.

Identification of natural river-bed patterns taking into account the interrelated effects of hydraulic characteristics of flow and mesoforms.

Earthquake resistant and technological constructions of large ground dams with reinforced concrete shields for seismically active regions.
