This paper deals with the study of the Bugulma plateau located in the southeast of the Tatarstan Republic. The suffusion hazard was assessed using an integral estimation of suffusion properties of incoherent eluvial soils and the parameters of structural eluvium fracturing. Using lithological varieties of soils, mathematical calculations and experimental studies, the territory zoning was carried out according to the suffosion hazard degree and the thematic maps were built in the ArcMap 10.8. The results of this study are useful for making preliminary design decisions in undeveloped areas, as well as for predicting the development of unfavorable engineering and geological processes in areas of existing buildings and structures.

Key words: suffusion instability, eluvium, carbonate soil, weathering crust, fracturing
