Predictive Modelling of the Frozen Base of Pile Foundation Buildings with Temperature Control of the Underfloor Space

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

The possibility of using a heat-insulated underfloor space with controlled temperature for low-rise buildings on pile foundations in permafrost conditions is considered. A predictive dynamic thermal model of the underlying soils for construction on pile foundations employing various types of underfloor space is presented. The calculation model of the interaction between the building and foundation in the presence of a heat-insulated underfloor space is verified by comparison with already-obtained field observation data.
