From 1950 worked at Institute of Mcch, Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics Academy of Sciences. 1936 published method of calculating girder plates of fixed and variable rigidity installed in a linearly deformable foundation. Devised theory of scaling and filtering groundwater under various conditions.
Did research on the sinkage of hydraulic structures, the strength of foundations, the front anchorage of dam spillways, sluices, et cetera During construction of Narva Hydroelectric Power Plant devised technique of installing temporary working joints in hydraulic structures to reduce internal pressure and adjust the loads on their base. During the construction of the Kuybyshcv, Gorky and other hydroelectric power plants used explosion technique to study the dilution of the water-logged sandy subsoil.
