Abstract

An analysis is made of changes in the condition of permafrost due to residential and commercial development in different areas. The changes have been associated with an intolerably large number of deformations and failures of structures in the permafrost zone. An understanding of the geocryological-engineering processes involved in technogenic changes to permafrost will make it possible to accurately predict those changes.
