Freezing-thawing tests on natural pyroclastic samples

Abstract: Artificial Ground Freezing is one of the construction techniques that were extensively adopted during construction of Line 1 of Napoli Underground, to ensure stability and waterproofing of the platform tunnels and inclined passageways during excavation below the ground water table through loose granular soils of pyroclastic origin (Pozzolana) and a fractured soft rock (Neapolitan Yellow Tuff). The aim of the paper is to study the behavior of the Pozzolana and Neapolitan Yellow Tuff subject to freezing and thaw… Show more

“…850-1500 kPa, see Section 2.1). More details on the soil testing procedure adopted for the frozen-thawed material have been published elsewhere (Casini et al, 2013Peláez et al, 2014) and are outside the scope of the paper. Just an example of the main steps of a triaxial test on frozen material is reported in Fig.…”

“…It has been used by civil and mining engineers to temporarily stabilise the surrounding soil and rock during an excavation. The process has become known as artificial ground freezing (AGF), which is done to provide structural support and/or to exclude the groundwater from openings until construction of a final lining provides permanent security (Harris, 1995;Casini et al, 2014;Russo et al, 2015). Being a temporary process with a low environmental impact, freezing does not affect the level of the water table or the quality of the groundwater.…”

“…When dealing with the modelling of THM coupled processes induced by the freezing of saturated and unsaturated soils, an important issue is the definition of the freezing retention 2.2 Measurement of ice (or unfrozen water) content 10 model, which links the saturation degree of the liquid phase (unfrozen water) to the temperature of the soil. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation, which governs the condition for equilibrium between the coexisting liquid water and ice phases, together with a modified form of the van Genuchten equation to consider the liquid-ice surface tension is usually adopted to represent this freezing retention model (see for instance, Nishimura et al, 2009;Gens, 2010;Casini et al, 2013 andCasini et al, 2014).…”
