| Abstract: | Conclusion The examined directions of scientific and technical progress in the area of underground hydraulic construction are promising
and can be very effective technically and economically. Considerable experience has presently been gained in the operation
of large-section underground hydraulic structures. Generalization of this experience will per-mit a significant improvement
in methods of designing and constructing these structures.
Based on material from reports presented at meetings of the Scientific-Technical Council of the Ministry of Power and Electrification
of the USSR (Minénergo USSR) and USSR State Construction Committee (Gosstroi USSR). The data contained in studies of the All-Union
Planning, Surveying, and Research Institute (Gidroproekt). All-Union Institute for the Planning of Electric Power Institutes
(Orgénergostroi), All-Union Research Institute of Hydraulic Engineering (VNIIG), Georgian Research Insitute, of Power Engineering
and Hydraulic Construction (Gruz NIIéGS), Trust for Specialized Operations of Gidroproekt, (Gidrospetsproekt), Power Information
Agency (Informénergo), and the State All-Union Trust for the Stabilization of Foundations and Structures (Gidrospetsstroi)
were used in preparing the reports.
