Much of the territory of the Russian Federation is located in the permafrost soil area. The developed hydrocarbon deposits make a significant contribution to the budget of the Russian Federation. Therefore, ensuring trouble-free operation of engineering structures and these fields is the most crucial task. Frozen soil deformation leads to violations in the operation of structures, which entail economic harm and significant environmental problems. This article provides a brief overview of the leading causes of deformations of engineering structures built on permafrost soils. The methods currently used to stabilize the frozen soil deformation are considered, and the directions for solving this problem are proposed.
