Decreasing geotechnical reliability with worsening frozen-bed conditions

  • Construction on Permafrost
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

The reliability of buildings and structures erected in the cryolithozone has been exacerbated in the past decade. Basic principles of the development of deformations associated with both a change in properties of the frost, and also with the operating mode of the entities are analyzed, using the Noril'sk industrial region as an example.
