Abstract

The study of artificial ground freezing temperature field is a necessary means to grasp the development status of frozen walls. The effective freezing radius of the frozen soil column is usually calculated by the measured data of the temperature measuring hole, and then the intersecting time of the frozen walls is predicted. The location of the temperature measuring holes is random and the number of designs is small. The weak points in the blind area of the monitoring cannot be grasped in time, resulting in the consequence that local observation replaces the overall temperature field of the frozen walls. In order to accurately judge the closed condition of the frozen wall, the longitudinal temperature measurement was carried out for the frozen apparatuses. According to the heat conduction of the frozen soil column, a mathematical model for calculating the transient temperature rise of a single hole frozen soil column after short-term cooling stop is established. It used the Maple mathematical calculation software to digitize and graph the formula, which reveals the relationship between the temperature distribution of the frozen soil column and the radius and time. According to the relationship between the above parameters, the minimum frozen column radius is determined to locate the weak position of the frozen wall. Finally, taking the Xipang air shaft of Dongpang Mine in China as an engineering case, theoretical calculation and analysis of the longitudinal temperature data of all freezing apparatuses are carried out. The results show that the 18# ~ 22# and 8 # ~ 10 # freezing holes are the weak points of the frozen wall, and the groundwater flow scours the frozen wall, resulting in a “gap” at these positions. The study effectively solved the problem that the abnormal groundwater flow affected the closure of the freezing wall, and provided a theoretical basis for the treatment of water inrush accident of the frozen wall.
