An analytical relation is established between stochastic and deterministic methods of calculating the bearing capacity of a permafrost bed. The temperature coefficient serves as a “bridge” between these methods, since the temperature of the frozen soil is a principal factor determining its strength and its variability over time and space. The latter is determined from solution of the economic-probability problem.
