In the European part of Russia the melting of frozen soil caused by warming, will not wear a mass character, as in Siberia. But the negative effects of this phenomenon can experience the Northern territory of the Arkhangelsk region and Nenets Autonomous region. This was reported by RIA Novosti Director of the graduate engineering schools of the Northern Arctic Federal University Sergey Aksenov.
According to the scientist, the frozen ground is practically absent on the mainland part of Arkhangelsk region, but they are common in the archipelagos of Novaya Zemlya and Franz Josef Land. On these Arctic Islands located weather stations, military camps and facilities of the border guards.
In the Nenets Autonomous district there are also lenses of frozen soils. In particular, they create problems for the remote village of Amderma and its airport. In addition, due to climate warming in the NAO becomes increasingly difficult to build the winter road seasonal road.
the Melting of frozen soil reduces its carrying capacity, says Sergey Aksenov. The structures cracks and deformation of buildings and pipelines can collapse.
the solution can be home on light foundations that are built in the towns of shift type and leveled if necessary, scientists say. In their view, the problem can be solved completely, appropriate technologies are being developed in different countries, including in Russia.
