SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CALCULATION METHODS OF THE FROZEN SOIL’S THERMAL STATE IN THE FLARE FACILITY FOUNDATION
The substantiation of methods for calculating the dynamics of the thermal state of frozen soils in the flare foundation is presented. A distinctive feature of this problem is the presence of the water boiling front higher than the thawing front in the frozen soil. The calculation results show that the depth of thawing of frozen grounds flare for the planned term of its operation is not catastrophic and it can be minimized by using relatively simple technical measures (increasing the height of flare placement, using insulation layer on the surface of the soil etc.).
