A study on impacts of groundwater seepage on artificial freezing process of gravel strata

Purpose–This paper aims to study the impacts of groundwater seepage on artificial freezing process of gravel strata,the temperature field characteristics of the strata,and the strata process,closure time and thickness evolution mechanism of the frozen wall.Design/methodology/approach–In this paper several laboratory model tests were conducted,considering different groundwater seepage rate.Findings–The results show that there is a significant coupling effect between the cold diffusion of artificial freezing pipes and groundwater seepage;when there is no seepage,temperature fields upstream and downstream of the gravel strata are symmetrically distributed,and the thickness of the frozen soil column/frozen wall is consistent during artificial freezing;groundwater seepage causes significant asymmetry in the temperature fields upstream and downstream of the gravel strata,and the greater the seepage rate,the more obvious the asymmetry;the frozen wall closure time increases linearly with the increase in the groundwater seepage rate,and specifically,the time length under seepage rate of 5.00 m d
1 is 3.2 times longer than that under no seepage;due to the erosion from groundwater seepage,the thickness of the upstream frozen wall decreases linearly with the seepage velocity,while that of the downstream frozen wall increases linearly,resulting in a saddle-shaped frozen wall.Originality/value–The research results are beneficial to the optimum design and risk control of artificial freezing process in gravel strata.

给在煤支柱下面在车道支持遇到的困难，我们在车道稳定性上学习了压力分发和他们的效果的特征，用理论分析和数字模拟。当水平应力减少时，结果证明在一个煤支柱下面，在一个地板阶层的垂直应力增加。我们断定垂直、水平的应力之间的增加的差别是为包围岩石的变丑和在煤支柱下面的车道的失败的一个重要原因。基于这，我们在一个煤支柱下面建议一条车道的包围岩石的控制技术例如高力量和高对的门栓支持，打电报加强支持，单个水力由包围岩石的 grouting 与横梁支持和加强支撑，它成功地在一个煤支柱下面在一条车道的一个稳定性控制工程被使用了。
