NSTU scientists presented an innovative technique for monitoring the condition of soils in the permafrost zone. It allows you to monitor changes in permafrost soils with high accuracy, taking into account both natural and man-made factors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
NSTU specialists have developed a unique technique that allows one to assess the condition of soils in the permafrost zone with unprecedented accuracy. The method is based on continuous monitoring of changes in permafrost soils. For daily processes, data is collected every 10 minutes, and for seasonal processes – once a day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
Using numerical modeling, scientists found that permafrost soils settle by about 2 cm per year under the influence of temperature and stress. At the same time, the processes of freezing and thawing, which extend to a depth of up to 4 meters, lead to gradual degradation of the rock structure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
Studies have also shown that the melting depth reaches 4 meters, and the freezing depth – 5 meters. These processes directly depend on air temperature and snow cover thickness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
Particular attention in the new methodology is paid to technogenic factors. For example, warm concrete piles used in construction actively melt the soil, which can lead to its destabilization.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
The developers emphasize that their technique is unique due to the consideration of many interrelated processes, such as heat transfer, mechanical deformation and phase transitions of water in the soil. This makes it more accurate than traditional single-factor models.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
To improve computing efficiency, scientists have also developed special algorithms that speed up data processing and increase its detail.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
A new methodology for assessing the state of soils in the permafrost zone, developed at NSTU, opens up new opportunities for geotechnical and environmental monitoring. Its use will make it possible to more accurately predict changes in permafrost soils and minimize the risks associated with their degradation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
