Target

Obtaining objective information on permafrost condition in the area of an administrative building foundation during maximum seasonal defrosting.

Result

The depth of defrosting in foundation corners is 12-13 m and locally reaches 15-16 m

The average depth of seasonal defrosting outside the surveyed building perimeter is 3-5 m

The pile foundation is fully located in the array of "plastic" frozen soil

Value

Choosing pile depth for resting on frozen soils, based on actual data

Location optimization for buildings and structures
