Abstract
The article discusses issues related to the stability of bases and foundations of buildings in the town of Tiksi, Bulunsky district, Sakha Republic (Yakutia). In August 2023 and July 2024, the authors conducted a complete visual survey and selective instrumental inspection of foundations of buildings and measured temperatures in operating thermometric boreholes in Tiksi; scientific and technical literature on research conducted in Tiksi and its environs was analyzed. This study made it possible to identify the main factors currently affecting the stability of foundations: improper maintenance and leaks of utility networks, excessive snow accumulation, and snow drift. In addition to the development of taliks in the bases of buildings and temporary structures, these factors lead to cryogenic weathering of concrete foundation structures.
