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.
