The artificial ground freezing (AGF) is one of the most popular ground-support methods.
Driven by its reliability, compatibility with a wide range of ground types, and low impact on …

This paper describes a case study of thermal monitoring of frozen wall thawing during shaft
sinking at the Petrikov Potash Mine in the Republic of Belarus. This case study included …

Selective artificial ground freezing (S-AGF) applications usually extend to very deep levels
(more than 400 meters); numerical modeling of such large AGF applications encounters two …

Artificial ground freezing during mine shaft construction is a costly endeavor. For effective
decision-making in mining operations, it's essential to establish robust control over frozen …

The current article devoted to study a moving boundary problem describing freezing of a
eutectic system in a semi-infinite medium in cylindrical symmetry. The solidification of the …

In some artificial ground freezing (AGF) applications of civil or mining projects, only
particular parts of the ground need to be frozen. Selective artificial ground freezing (S-AGF) …

Based on the engineering background of the connection aisle reinforcement construction in
Nanning Subway Line 3 using artificial ground freezing technology, this study investigates …

Stefan problems provide one of the most fundamental frameworks to capture phase change
processes. The problem in cylindrical coordinates can model outward solidification, which …

Problems related to the change in state of a PCM offer a great contribution in the field of heat
transfer, describing melting, freezing, and sublimation. While most articles already exist on …

When on-site tests are performed in artificial ground freezing projects, the conventional
analytical method for determining the soil temperature field often presents significant error …
