Abstract
The degradation of permafrost soils in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District (YNAO) shows a negative trend of increasing, which is associated with both climate change and human engineering and economic activities. The article examines the issue of the occurrence of ground subsidence in the foundation of linear transport infrastructure in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation from the perspective of establishing a relationship between cryogenic deformations and soil characteristics. A geotechnical model of the "embankment – foundation" system has been developed for conditions of permafrost degradation in the YNAO, enabling the design of measures to improve operational reliability through soil thermal stabilization or anti-deformation structures. To confirm the feasibility of calculations based on the developed geotechnical model, its verification was carried out by comparing qualitative and quantitative deformation patterns with the results of engineering-geocryological monitoring of an operational section of the Nadym – Salekhard highway
