Permafrost occupies about 25 percent of the world's area and spreads across the north of America, Europe, Asia, as well as the islands of the Arctic Ocean and Antarctica. In Russia, a considerable part of the population lives and works in the regions of the Far North, where mining is rapidly developing in conditions of permafrost. This is where the erection of the foundations is an important issue.
