Book Description
This new edition of Frozen Ground Engineering gives a peerless presentation of soil mechanics for frozen ground conditions and a variety of frozen ground support systems used on construction projects worldwide. An authoritative update of the industry standard, this Second Edition covers the essential theory, applications, and design methods using frozen ground in the construction of deep shafts, tunnels, deep excavations, and subsurface containment barriers. New material features design models for pavement structures used in seasonal frost and permafrost areas, new information on the movement of fluid phase contaminants in frozen ground, and helpful appendices offering guidance on common frozen ground tests and SI unit conversions. This new edition gives the essential information engineers, geologists, and students need in a complete reference, including up-to-date information on: Sensitivity of frozen ground to climate change Experimental work on frozen soil creep and strength Monitoring creep in frozen slopes Frost protection of foundations using ground insulation Highway insulation Load restrictions for seasonal frost areas
An Introduction to Frozen Ground Engineering
Author: Orlando B. AnderslandPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475722907
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
Frozen Ground Engineering first introduces the reader to the frozen environment and the behavior of frozen soil as an engineering material. In subsequent chapters this information is used in the analysis and design of ground support systems, foundations, and embankments. These and other topics make this book suitable for use by civil engineering students in a one-semester course on frozen ground engineering at the senior or first-year-graduate level. Students are assumed to have a working knowledge of undergraduate mechanics (statics and mechanics of materials) and geotechnical engineering (usual two-course sequence). A knowledge of basic geology would be helpful but is not essential. This book will also be useful to advanced students in other disciplines and to engineers who desire an introduction to frozen ground engineering or references to selected technical publications in the field. BACKGROUND Frozen ground engineering has developed rapidly in the past several decades under the pressure of necessity. As practical problems involving frozen soils broadened in scope, the inadequacy of earlier methods for coping became increasingly apparent. The application of ground freezing to geotechnical projects throughout the world continues to grow as significant advances have been made in ground freezing technology. Freezing is a useful and versatile technique for temporary earth support, groundwater control in difficult soil or rock strata, and the formation of subsurface containment barriers suitable for use in groundwater remediation projects.

Present Methods of Preparing Frozen Ground for Excavation

Category : Excavation
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
The 10-year plan for the reconstruction of Moscow calls for extensive ground work such as the excavation of foundation pits, trenches for the construction of buildings, and underground installations. Various mechanical methods for working frozen ground are used in Moscow, the most noteworthy being blasting, mechanical crushing by means of wedge-shaped strikers, and soil thawing with warm water (water needles) and tubular electric heaters (electric needles). Despite the simplicity and low cost of this method, its application in cities is limited because of the safety hazard to the inhabitants and structures in the vicinity of the blasting site. However, present techniques of blasting have been perfected to such an extent that the danger to population and buildings is reduced to the minimum. Nevertheless, it would be desirable to simplify procedures still more and to further extend the limits imposed on blasting. (Author).
