Conclusions

1. The use of explosions in water makes it possible to obtain in short time amplitude-frequency characteristics of soils similar to those occurring during earthquakes.

2. In the case of constructing buildings and structures on solidly frozen soils of the Baikal region with the use of principle I the calculated seismic rating can be at the level of the initial (regionalized) scale point or slightly below it. In the case of construction according to principle II the seismic stability of the soils of bases markedly deteriorates. The particular increment of the seismic rating at construction sites with both types of soil conditions can be established with certainty only by means of instrumental methods of investigating the seismic properties of frozen ground.
