Mine Shaft Freezing


Introduction

Artificial soil freezing is used in many engineering projects to excavate and construct mine shafts, tunnels or other underground structures through water bearing, often unstable, soil formations. This example demonstrates a procedure for modeling the freeze wall growth for a mine shaft project. It is assumed that the groundwater velocity is not high enough to affect the closure of the freeze wall.
