2013 to the present.  Kazakhstan Road Research Institute. Leading Scientific Researcher.

Shalkarov Abdiashim  devoted his entire working life to the training of highly qualified specialists for the road industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as the training and advanced training of teaching staff..

Since 2013, he has been working in “Kazakhstan Road Research Institute” Joint Stock Company as a leading scientific researcher in the Department of Bridge Structures. He developed the National Standards:

1. ST RK 2370-2013 Bridge structures and culverts on highways. Transport interchanges at different levels. Design requirements.

2. ST RK 2597-2014 Bridge structures and culverts on highways. Deformation seams of crushed-stone-mastic superstructures.

3. ST RK 2722-2015 Bridge structures and culverts on highways. Requirements for the design of reinforcement and broadening.

Recommendations for the introduction of new technologies in the road industry:  

1. R RK 218-132-2016 Recommendations for the construction of expansion joints in bridge structures on highways.

2. R RK 218-ХХХ-2016 Recommendations for the use of waterproofing materials and dry mixes of the TF series in transport construction.

3. R RK 218-140-2017 Recommendations for the construction of spans and supports of road bridges from monolithic reinforced concrete.

4. R RK 218-141-2017 Recommendations for the elimination of defects in road bridges using special materials.

5. R RK 218-154-2018 Recommendations for strengthening reinforced concrete superstructures of road bridges with composite materials.

6. R RK 218-155-2019 Recommendations on the use of special types of materials in the repair and protection of road bridge structures.

7. R RK 218-179-2020 Recommendations for the design and construction of artificial structures from metal corrugated structures on public roads.

8. R RK 218-193-2022 Recommendations for the arrangement of interfaces for road bridges, overpasses and artificial structures with an approach embankment.

9. R RK 218-194-2022 Recommendations on the use of various interface structures for bridges, overpasses and artificial structures with an embankment, depending on engineering-geological and natural-climatic conditions.

Under his leadership, as the Chief Engineer of the project, projects for the construction and reconstruction of more than 10 bridge structures in the republican public roads of the Karaganda, Almaty, East Kazakhstan regions were developed. Directly under his leadership, standard design solutions for pedestrian bridges for 2, 4 and 6 lane traffic on public roads I-a, I-b, II technical category were developed.

Shalkarov A. participated in the testing of reinforced concrete products manufactured by the Almaty plant of bridge structures, Transstroymost, he tested bridge structures in the South Kazakhstan region and in Astana. He has extensive experience in carrying out diagnostic work and certification of bridge structures and assessing their technical condition.

Shalkarov A. has extensive experience in scientific, pedagogical work in higher educational institutions, is well versed in modern methods of scientific research in the field of organization and traffic safety. He took an active part in the development of the State General Educational Standards of Higher Professional Education in the specialty 4311 – “Bridges and Transport Tunnels”. He is the author of more than 100 scientific and educational works devoted to the design, construction and reconstruction of bridge structures. He developed R&D programs for the development and updating of the regulatory framework on roads.
