The Triaxial Shear Test of Artificially Frozen Soils in Tunnel Construction of Hong Kong
Three kinds of frozen soils were tested for artificial ground freezing (AGF) project in the tunnel construction of Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works, Hong Kong. Triaxial shear test was conducted to obtain shear strength of frozen soils. From the test, Mohr circles and their envelopes were obtained. According to Mohr circles, shear strength of the three soils was gained. Comparing the three soils, we found the potential weaken layer which might cause failure in the construction. All the parameters obtained can be used in design and construction of AGF practice.
