Artificial ground freezing is commonly utilized in engineering projects to excavate and construct mine shafts, tunnels, or other underground structures through water-bearing, often unstable, soil formations. This technique involves installing freeze pipes at equal distances to create a frozen barrier that encircles the mine shaft, thereby stabilizing the surrounding ground. A ground freezing analysis was completed in both 2D and 3D to simulate this phenomenon. The analyses are saved as separate GeoStudio project files. The 3D simulation provides a more comprehensive understanding of the freezing process because it considers heat transfer past the bottom of the freeze wall.
