How can permafrost cause architectural damage?
Permafrost can cause architectural damage by thawing and settling, leading to foundation shifting, cracking, and structural instability. As the permafrost thaws, the soil loses its frozen support and can lead to uneven settling and potential damage to building foundations or infrastructure. This cycle of freezing and thawing can cause significant damage over time, compromising the integrity of structures built on permafrost.
