Nonterrestrial factor

The article overviews the phenomena of global climatic and geophysical impacts on buildings and structures as a result of gravidynamic disturbances in near-Earth space environment recently discovered using variametric spectral analysis.

One of the most acute civil and industrial challenges of the period is dramatic depreciation of utilities and basic structures of buildings and facilities, including geotechnical degradation of foundations. This problem, both in Russia and abroad, is getting even more topical due to growing impact of hazardous climatic and geophysical factors driving new, previously little-studied, and, consequently, unregulated excessive loads and effects on buildings and facilities.

Given that the urban planning prospect of can be more than 100 years, whilst safe operational life of buildings may be more than 40, the problem of forecasting climatic and geophysical impacts due to global climate fluctuations is much needed by insurance companies and self-regulatory organizations, in particular, in cases of erection of critical structures, such as tall buildings and underground facilities.

This article is an entry in a series of publications presenting the results of unique interdisciplinary research on previously unknown or littlestudied phenomena enabling global geological, geophysical and climatic processes caused by gravidynamic disturbances in near-Earth space of distinct resonance or cyclical nature. These studies are the contribution into existing scientific concepts of cosmo-terrestrial cause-effect relationships and drivers of evolutional intensity of natural processes on global scale.

The article deals with basic research data on detection, classification, interpretation and verification of potentially hazardous variations of climatic, geophysical and meteorological processes. These are the basics for discovery of previously unknown cosmogeneous evolutional intensity fluctuations of maximum and average daily temperatures, daily precipitation, seismic activity, average daily wind speed and humidity in urban areas as a result of gravidynamic disturbances in near-Earth space.

Hypotheses about substantial influence of gravitational perturbations caused by the Sun and planets of the solar system on climatic, agronomic and epidemic processes on Earth were advanced by a number of domestic and foreign scientists in the early twentieth century. However, inexplicable variable duration of these cycles did not allow verifying the proposed hypotheses about the driving forces of terrestrial manifestations of universal gravitational perturbations.

Only in 1994-2000, on discovering radial gravitational resonance of celestial bodies the scientists were able to explain the cause-effect relationships and resonance gravidynamic patterns of global variations in intensity of some hazardous climatic and geophysical processes on Earth. These phenomena, which formula was presented at the I International Aerospace Congress in August 1994, were discovered and theoretically developed prior to explosion of the Shoemaker-Levy Comet on Jupiter.
