Management of the thermo-mechanical response of the building-foundation system

The consequences of infringement of basic principles regarding designing for construction on a permafrost sites are considered. For designing remediation measures for rescuing an unserviceable building, the authors have developed software for calculation of the three-dimensional interconnected heat exchange and stress-strain states. The calculation methods take the plastic deformations of the ground and the freezing - thawing of water in the ground into account as a function of temperature. As an example, a forecast is made for a real building in the north of the Tyumen Region. Remediation included freezing of the thawed ground under the base of the building and the optimum values of the freezing parameters are recommended with the help of the software.
