Prediction of Temperature-Controlled Regimes of Foundation-Bed Soils in the Cryolithic Zone

The present article proposes a mathematical model for calculating the temperature regime of foundation-bed soils for an industrial building, considering the operation of horizontal seasonal cooling mechanisms under challenging geocryological conditions. The model takes the following points into account: air temperature in the building, atmospheric air temperature, depth of placement, number of seasonal cooling mechanisms, and water filtration in the talik zone. The presented model can be used to calculate changes in soil temperature at the base of a building in order to ensure its stability.

Some results of solving mixed problems of the theories of elasticity and plasticity of foundation bed soils

1. A comparison of the results of solving the mixed problem with the experimental data shows a satisfactory qualitative and, when comparison was possible, quantitative agreement of the calculated and experimental relations and values. A number of experimentally observed phenomena are described sufficiently completely by this problem. 2. The mixed problem permits estimating the errors introduced into calculations by the use of the model of linearly deformable soil, and in a number of cases allows recommending a broadening of the limits of application of this model in comparison with SNiP II-15-74. The direct use of solutions of the mixed problem for foundation designing purposes permits determining their dimensions on the basis of the settlements allowable for the superstructure with consideration of transformation of the contact stress diagrams.

Determination of the depth of soil freezing in foundation beds of buildings

1. The heating conditions of the soils in foundation beds of buildings and structures are affected, besides by the boundary conditions, by three basic factors: a) water content of the soil at the start of freezing; b) depth and density of the snow cover; c) design of the foundation and lower story of the building. 2. A limiting factor when designating the depth of building foundationsis the depth of soil freezing at the corners facing the prevailing winds, since soil freezing near the wall is less by a factor of 1.5–2. 3. Under Siberian conditions snow is a good insulating material for reducing the freezing depth and temperatures of freezing together of the soil and foundation.
