Effect of spatial variability of soil properties on artificial frozen curtain around twin tunnels
Artificial ground freezing (AGF) technology is widely used for groundwater control for twin tunnel construction in water-rich sandy soil. A thermal-hydro-salt-mechanical (THSM) coupled random model is proposed to consider the effects of spatial variabilities of soil properties on frozen curtain formed around twin tunnels. The results from the proposed model fairly agree with those from model test in literature. It is found that the amplitude fluctuations of the porosity and thermal conductivity of sandy soil influence the frozen curtains. Many gaps are found in the formed frozen curtain after different duration of AGF around twin tunnels. The differences of the proportion of the gap area between uniform soil and random properties of sandy soil with different amplitudes of fluctuation of porosity and thermal conductivity fall in the bounds of ±5 % and ±7 %, respectively. The degree of freezing versus time factor curves were randomly distributed due to the effects of the amplitude fluctuations of sandy soil and spacings of freeze pipes. However, they all lie above a fitting curve which could be used to conservatively design the AGF method used for groundwater control of twin tunnel construction in similar water-rich sandy soils.
期刊介绍:
Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the science and technical problems of cold environments in both the polar regions and more temperate locations. It includes fundamental aspects of cryospheric sciences which have applications for cold regions problems as well as engineering topics which relate to the cryosphere.
Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physical and mechanical aspects of ice (including glaciers and sea ice), snow and snow avalanches, ice-water systems, ice-bonded soils and permafrost.
Relevant aspects of Earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. These include icing of ships and structures as well as trafficability in cold environments. Technological advances for cold regions in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. Theoretical papers must include a detailed discussion of the potential application of the theory to address cold regions problems. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.
