GROUND FREEZING IN PRACTICE

This book provides an overview of the practical application of artificial ground freezing (AGF) in mining and civil engineering. It covers both the theory and the practice, along with the relationship with other geotechnical methods, and its role as "temporary work". Examples of frozen ground projects are included. Chapter headings are: (1) geotechnical processes; (2) description, sampling and testing frozen soils; (3) properties of freezing, frozen and thawed soils; (4) engineering design of frozen ground works; (5) refrigeration systems; (6) construction using AGF; (7) case examples; (8) standards and safety; (9) contractual, cost and risk evaluation considerations.
