The Impact of a Heat-Insulating Pad on the Temperature Regime of the Frozen Base of a Low-Rise Residential Building

  • CONSTRUCTION ON PERMAFROST
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

The building technology on permafrost foundations using a heat-insulating pad made of granulated foam-glass ceramic is considered. The influence of the pad on the temperature regime of the frozen base of a dome-type residential building was studied using computer modeling. The design parameters of the insulating pad were established to ensure the thermal stabilization of the frozen base for 30 years. A technical and economic assessment of the new technology is given, taking into account the production of thermal insulation based on Arctic raw materials: opal-cristobalite rocks and zeolites.
