Abstract:

Freezing expansion is the most prominent character of frozen soil, which can bring displacement of ground and therefore is harmful to the surrounding areas. By testing Shanghai’s frozen clay with different frozen quantities and frozen stresses, the relations of consolidated stress are obtained with frozen quantity and frozen stress, and instance of water transference in the frozen process is the results of this study is useful in the design and construction of artificially frozen soil project of Shanghai.

Key words: artificially frozen soil; frozen stress; frozen rate; frozen quantity; water transference
