On October 21, the reading room of the scientific and technical library of SPbGASU hosted the grand opening of the book exhibition “Scientific School of the Department of Geotechnics (Mechanics of Soils, Foundations and Foundations)”. The exhibition is dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the department.
The university’s management was represented at the exhibition opening ceremony by Sergey Mikhailov, Vice-Rector for Educational Activities, and Evgeny Korolev, Vice-Rector for Research Activities.
Evgeny Korolev addressed young researchers with the words of Isaac Newton: “If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants.” Evgeny Valerievich expressed confidence that a similar exhibition will be held in many years, and current students have the opportunity to increase the number of works presented at it. The Vice-Rector also invited them to the International Scientific and Technical Conference “Modern Theoretical and Practical Issues in Geotechnics: New Materials, Designs, Technologies and Calculation Methods” (GFAC-2024), which will be held on October 27-29.
“The exhibition is unique in that it is here that we can see how the traditions of scientific schools are formed, how unique scientific research is developed, how its results are applied, and how these results demonstrate the continuity of the university’s achievements. And continuity is a terribly interesting thing. It is this transfer of knowledge and research methods from one generation of scientists to the next that ensures progress in science and allows young people not only to develop and deepen the accumulated experience of their predecessors, but also to create new knowledge,” shared her thoughts Elena Romanova, head of the Scientific and Technical Library of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering.
According to Elena Gennadyevna, the exhibition presents scientific works of famous professors of IGI/LISI/SPbGASU and young specialists. Visitors will also be interested to see rare publications that laid the foundation for current scientific achievements in the field of geotechnics.
Rashid Mangushev, Director of the Scientific and Production Consulting Center for Geotechnology, Professor of the Department of Geotechnics, donated to the library a two-volume English-language Geotechnical Handbook published in 2024 and announced plans to promote this publication abroad.
According to Anatoly Osokin, director of the Soil Testing Center and head of the geotechnics department, the new is the well-forgotten old. Anatoly Ivanovich said that he sees here the books that once awakened his interest in geotechnics.
The exhibition “Scientific School of the Department of Geotechnics (Mechanics of Soils, Foundations and Foundations)” will be open in the reading room of the Scientific and Technical Library of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering until November 22. Opening hours: Monday through Thursday from 10:00 to 18:00, Friday from 10:00 to 17:00.
