Object and purpose of the study: Underground aquiferous point and linear structures operated in difficult ground conditions lose their structural safety as a result of the influence of external forces and the environment. It is important to establish the features of the operation of underground aquifers and communications in an inhomogeneous enclosing soil massif, taking into account the interaction of structures with the ground in case of non-stationary force impacts and environmental impacts with an assessment of their structural safety. Methods: The use of analytical and experimental research methods to evaluate the work of structures in the soil mass, taking into account force influences and environmental influences. Results: The features of interaction of the housing of a collapsible pipe with a soil mass with a multidirectional horizontal component of a non-stationary load are established. The negative impact of the combination of the multidirectional impact of the power load and internal hydrostatic pressure on the structural safety of the housing of a prefabricated underground structure is shown. Practical significance and conclusions: The results obtained on the picture of the stress-strain state of an inhomogeneous enclosing soil massif allowed us to establish the nature and boundaries of the safe operation of structures and to make suggestions on the choice of ways to strengthen and protect underground structures, taking into account their operating conditions.
