In addition to their teaching activities, the department's faculty members regularly participate in international scientific conferences, publish articles in scientific journals, and produce research papers (Unaybaev B.Zh., Unaybaev B.B., Ishchanova A.Sh., Doktorov V.N., Eskendirov D.B., Kanaeva T.A., and others). Educational materials are constantly being created to support the learning process, such as "Construction Technology" (Unaybaev B.B.), "Modern Buildings and Structures" (Unaybaev B.Zh., Ishchanova A.Sh., Doktorov V.N.), «Ағаштан және пластмассадан жасалған конструкциялар» / "Wood and Plastic Structures" (Kim E. E.), «Азаматтық ғимараттарды энергиялық тиімді жобалау және салу»/«Energy-Efficient Design and Construction of Civil Buildings» (Ishchanova A.Sh., Kanaeva T.A.), «Өндірістік ғимараттарды жобаландыру негіздері»/«Fundamentals of Industrial Building Design» (Ishchanova A.Sh., Kanaeva T.A.), «Ғимараттар мен құрылыстарды техникалық пайдалану»/«Technical Operation of Buildings and Structures» (Ishchanova A.Sh., Kanaeva T.A.)/«Жөндеу-құрылыс жұмыстары технологиясы/ "Technology of Repair and Construction Work"/ Ishanova A.Sh., Kanaeva T.A../ «Құрылыс өндірісінің технологиясы»: Оқу құралы/ Унайбаев Б.Б., Ищанова А.Ш. и др.
Students are actively involved in the department's research and design projects. Students' research work is an extension and deepening of the educational process and is an integral part of the training of highly qualified specialists.
Under the supervision of Associate Professor A.S. Kainazarov, PhD, Associate Professor B.Zh. Unaybaev, PhD, Professor, and other faculty members of the Department of Construction, as well as students G.Ramazanov, I.Gormashov, A.Ismagulov, and D.Zhambulatov, a contractual work was carried out on the topic "A Cheap House for a Young Family" in collaboration with Vershina GroupEK LLP, with a total funding of 4,850,000 tenge. The research focused on a cheap house for a young family. The study is based on a critical analysis of well-known construction technologies for low-rise buildings in order to improve them. Simple and effective technologies for building houses have been proposed, including the use of cheap local materials (such as clay), a slotted foundation, a rational architectural and planning layout for individual houses, and the use of non-traditional renewable energy sources.
The work of teachers was also carried out in collaboration with students of the Department of Construction on the initiative topic: "Development of recommendations for improving the efficiency of foundation construction in saline soils", with a total funding amount of 3,000,000 tenge.
Based on the results of the conducted research, it is clear that in-depth scientific studies are required at the exploration stage when developing a territory with saline soils. Therefore, comprehensive research should be continued both during subsequent exploration and during the design, construction, and operation of facilities with continuous adaptation, as well as during the construction of buildings using structural, technical, and technological solutions, taking into account the changing conditions in the area with saline soils. The proposed new geotechnologies will allow to solve the problem of costly construction and operation of buildings and structures on saline soils. As a result of the development, a technique for assessing the characteristics of saline soils under conditions of their technogenic impact has been obtained; the patterns of change in the properties of saline soils have been established.
At the present time, the department, with the joint work of teachers and students, under the leadership of B.Zh.Unaybaev, continues to carry out scientific research on the topic: "Survey, design and construction on salt-containing dusty clay soils", with a total funding volume of 6000 thousand tenge on the topic. The object of this study is salt-containing dusty clay soils (SPPG) of various types and degrees of salinity.
The results of the study of saline sandy-clay soils are modernized laboratory and field tests and technologies for their study. Practical recommendations for the study of saline sandy-clay soils have been developed and implemented in the production of survey work, and they have been compared with known and regulated recommendations, which allow for reducing the complexity and cost of tests, as well as increasing the accuracy of determining design parameters, the reliability, and the efficiency of construction on saline sandy-clay soils.
The implementation of the research results is carried out by the company Vershina Group EK, with which an agreement has been signed to develop new technologies at the company's construction sites.All departmental teachers undergo advanced training, internships, and participate in international and national scientific conferences and seminars.
