Analytical Solution of Stress and Displacement Fields of Frozen Wall in Deep Alluvium According for Time-Space Effect

Abstract

Based on the theory of viscoelasticity and the principle of interaction between surrounding rock and structure in unload state, analytical solution of the stress field and displacement field of the frozen wall is obtained. Calculation results of the stress and displacement fields suggest that radial stress and displacement in the sidewall are very large within 15 days after pouring concrete of the outer shaft wall, which is proved by the fact that engineering incidents such as shaft wall rupture happen exactly at this time. The results also indicate that radial stress at different points in frozen wall all tend to the imposed loads on outer frozen wall finally, and that means the frozen wall is fluidized. This calculation theory can be used in the design of frozen wall in deep alluvium.
