Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mechanical method of tunneling in permafrost was investigated by excavating the Alaska Experimental Permafrost Tunnel in a perennially frozen stratum of Fairbanks silt at the edge of a gold dredge field 11 miles north of Fairbanks. The tunnel is 360 ft long and about 7 x 13 ft in cross section. It was cut by the Alkirk continuous cyclic mining method. Certain properties of the frozen silt were investigated and the tunnel was evaluated as a shelter for military purposes. Temperatures, mechanical compositions and moisture contents are discussed and observations on plastic deformation are given. The machine uses a pilot-pull principle to provide face pressure. Its potential performance was evaluated. Special observations of cutting strain and power consumption were performed and the cutting process was analyzed. It was found that the mechanical process is expedient and that with modifications the Alkirk principle promises to become a feasible method of excavating deep shelters in permafrost. Subsurface shelters in permafrost provide advantageous protection against high velocity shocks. The operations' efficiency is analyzed in the appendix.

Download or read book An Introduction to Frozen Ground Engineering written by Orlando B. Andersland and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
