DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF FOOTINGS OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES ON PERMAFROST SOILS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

Abstract

The article describes features of design and construction of footings of buildings and structures on permafrost soils. Examples of failures of objects were given. It was shown that the available calculation tools, in particular the “Termoground” program, allow to estimate many situations connected not only with temperature problems, but also with the stress-strain state of the “base - structure system”. This allows carrying out design of arbitrary objects operating without failures during a long time. Consequently, the impact of such objects to ecol­ogy of surrounded environment is minimum.
