Thus the ice-soil wall is an important geotechnical construction, strength and reliability of that determine safety of the shaft sinking. Despite the long-term experience of using the artificial freezing technique, numerous accidents and technological problems arise under the excavation of mine shafts at great depths. To prevent emergencies and guarantee the fulfilment of designed characteristics of mine shafts it is required conduction of through studies of mechanical behavior of the ice-soil wall (Panteleev et al. (2017)). Frozen soils, because of the presence in them of ice and unfrozen water, possess clearly defined rheological properties such as development imperceptibly slow deformations (creep) and losing strength during a prolonged load action. In (Vyalov (1986), Razbegin et al. (1996), Arenson et al. (2007), Qi et al. (2013), Lai et al. (2013)) extensive reviews of experimental and theoretical studies related to frozen soils are presented. The Vyalov’s constitutive relations (Vyalov et al. (1962), Vyalov et al. (1979), Vyalov (1986)) give one of the basic mechanical model for describing rheological properties of frozen soils. According to the relations creep strain is described by the Norton-Bailey power law (Ottosen and Ristinmaa (2005)) in that a modulus depends on time and temperature and it is assumed that volume deformation under creep can be neglected. Experimental studies confirm that the theory allows one to describe of the creep in wide range of temperatures. In particular, in (Vyalov et al. (1962), Klein and Jessberger (1979), Eckardt (1982), Vyalov (1986)) an analysis of the experimental data of creep of various type of frozen soils in uniaxial compression and tensile tests has been conducted based on the theory. In (Vyalov et al. (1979)) theory has been justified by experimental results of uniaxial and triaxial compression tests performed for frozen dusty loam and two types of clay. Based on the theory the Vyalov’s formula for estimating of an optimal thickness of an ice-soil wall for that it can resist to given rock pressure has been derived (Vyalov et al. (1979)). This formula is widely used by engineers for design the ice-soil wall and determination of optimal parameters for the artificial ground freezing (Andersland and Ladanyi (2013)). However, the formula has been obtained analytically with strong assumptions, which could differ from real conditions under shaft construction. In recent times for prediction of a mechanical behavior of soils and a mine shaft during the excavation process and the installation of the shaft support applied numerical simulation. In (Judeel et al. (2012)) an elastic behavior of a cast iron tubbing lining during mine shaft construction has been researched. In (Fabich et al. (2015)) displacement of a shaft wall before installation of the shaft lining has been estimated with considering an ideal elasto-plastic behavior of soil and the Hoek-Brown strength criterion. In (Oreste et al. (2016), Spagnoli et al. (2017)) an approach for estimating radial loads on a vertical shaft lining and radial soil displacement during the excavation have been developed on the basis of the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion. In (Schwamb and Soga (2015)) an analysis of monitoring data obtained at several shaft excavation levels has been numerically performed with using the Mohr-Coulomb and the Hoek-Brown failure criteria. In (Jia et al. (2008)) a numerical modelling of hydromechanical response of argillite during a shaft sinking have been carried out taking into account plastic and creep deformations. This work is devoted to verification of the Vyalov’s formula at various depth of a shaft sinking by finite element numerical modelling of a vertical mine shaft with the unsupported wall. The creep behavior of frozen soil was described by using the Vyalov’s constitutive relations. The mechanical properties were determined from experimental data for Callovian sandy loam as one of the most dangerous soil layer for a sinking. The rock pressure was estimated by applying a standard structural design approach (Farazi and Quamruzzaman (2013)) based on the Rankine’s theory (Terzaghi et al. (1996)). 2. Theoretical model According to (Vyalov et al. (1979)) a vertical mine shaft sinking by the artificial ground freezing technique is performed by the following way. An ice-soil retaining structure represented as an ice-soil cylinder is formed around the building mine shaft. As the shaft is sunk the outer surface of the cylinder is loaded by rock pressure P . However, the shaft sinking is carried out incrementally together with installation of the shaft lining that is supported the shaft wall. Therefore, a relatively small height h of the inner surface is unsupported. This part of the retaining structure is deformed under an effect of the pressure P within some time period t pr that is required for building of the lining. It is known because of creep of frozen soils even if plastic deformation of the ice-soil retaining structure does not occur, creep deformation of the cylinder wall could reach significant values. As a result, freezing columns could fail and the installation of the shaft lining could be complicated. Thus, the thickness of the cylinder wall is

determined in order to maximal displacement  max is not exceeded. The three-dimensional theoretical model for describing a stress-strain state of the ice-soil retaining structure is written as:

where σ – Cauchy stress tensor [Pa], ε – full strain tensor, ε cr – creep strain tensor, u –displacement vector [m]. It is assumed that the ice-soil retaining structure is a hollow cylinder with inner radius rin and wall thickness E . The outer surface of the cylinder is loaded by the rock pressure P , the top and bottom cylinder ends are fixed in longitudinal direction by the lining and frozen soil, correspondingly, and the circle at the topcrend is fixed in all directions by the tubbing. On the basis of the Vyalov’s constitutive relations the creep strain ε of frozen soils in uniaxial stress conditions is described by the Norton-Bailey creep law. For multiaxial stress conditions with the assumption that the volumetric creep strain equals zero this law can be generalized as:

(1962)) the engineering formula for the optimal thickness E of the ice wall was obtained:

3. Numerical simulations To estimate adequacy of (5) in this study the problem (1-4) was solved numerically. The numerical modelling was carried out for Callovian sandy loam as one of the most dangerous soil layer for a shaft sinking. The creep parameters characterizing rheological properties of the soil were estimated on the basis of experimental measurements of creep strain on time (Vaylov et al. (1962)). The data was obtained from a uniaxial compression test of a cylindrical rod with the ratio of the radius to the height equal 0.5 one of the ends of that was loaded by pressure equal 3 MPa during 12 hours. The temperature of the soil was   10 C. To identify the properties, the analytical relationship of the creep strain on time obtained by integration (4) was used. In table 1 identified values of the parameters are presented. Table 1. Creep parameters for Callovian sandy loam at -10 C.  , MPa∙hλ∙(C)-k

In figure 1 the experimental data for the Callovian sandy loam, the curve obtained from the analytical dependence and the curve obtained from a three-dimensional numerical simulation for the identified values are presented. The numerical simulation was performed for the mentioned experimental conditions with using the constitutive relation (4). As it can be seen the analytical curve is in good agreement with the numerical one. From figure 1 it could be concluded that (4) allows describing the primary nonstationary creep stage with a deceasing deformation rate and the secondary stationary creep stage with an almost constant rate, but it is not able to quality characterize the tertiary creep stage related to progressive flow with an increasing rate. The geometrical parameters for the mine shaft sinking were defined as rin  5.25 m, h  5 m, max  0.1 m on the basis of documentations used for structural design of potash mines in Belarus. The time required for lining installation was assumed t pr  12 h. The rock pressure acting on the ice-soil retaining structure was estimated by the standard engineering formula (Farazi and Quamruzzaman (2013))

In figure 2 (a) relationship of the rock pressure to the depth is presented.

Figure 2 (b) presents maximal values u2,max of the second displacement component u2 in depending on H obtained by numerical solving (1)–(4). As can be seen u2,max nonlinearly increases with the depth and reaches 8.8 m at the depth 1000 m. Despite on the significance wall thickness reaching to 104.1 m at 1000 m, the maximal admissible displacement Δmax is not exceeded only for the depths less than 115 m. At that u2,max equals 0.08 m at the depth 100 m.

Figure 3 (a) presents distribution of the component u2 in the ice-soil retaining structure at t  12 h and H  100 m. It can be seen that the distribution is non uniform along the cylinder height and u2 takes a maximum value at the bottom cylinder base. Also u2 does not equal to zero at the top cylinder base. Figure 3 (b) shows the curve of development u2,max in time. This curve qualitatively coincides with the curve in figure 1 (a). Profiles of axial and shear components 22, 23 of the stress tensor at t  12 h along the height on the inner surface of the cylinder are presented in figure 4 (a), (b). The component 22 takes a nonzero constant value at most part of the considered segment. At the same time, the component 23 equals zero at this part and linearly decreases near the bottom cylinder end. 4. Conclusions Deformations of the ice-soil retaining structure consisting of the frozen Callovian sandy loam with the wall thickness given by the Vaylov’s formula were studied at depths from 100 m to 1000 m of mine shaft sinking by the numerical modelling. Creep strain of the frozen soil was estimated on the basis of the Vaylov’s constitutive relations.

It was established that the admissible displacement of the ice-soil cylinder is not exceeded only for depths less than 115 m while the estimated wall thicknesses for the considered depths reach to 104.1 m. Also it was shown that the assumptions of the Vaylov’s formula concerning to values of the radial stress and displacement on the inner surface and the top end of the ice-soil cylinder are not satisfied. At the same time, the assumption relating to shear stress takes zero value on the inner surface is fulfilled on most part of the surface. One of the possible reason on that the ice-soil cylinder with the significant wall thickness is not able to satisfy of the deformation criterion is in estimation of the rock pressure by (6). In the deformation process of the frozen soil the encircling unfrozen rock massif is also deformed, as a result its stress-strain state is changed that leads to alteration of the rock pressure. Another reason is related to the Vaylov’s constitutive relations. It is assumed that the

volumetric creep strain equals zero. However, in soils effects of dilatancy and compaction accompany the volumetric creep strain. Both process leads to increase of soil strength that could contribute to decrease of the creep deformation rate. Finally, for shaft sinking at large depths design parameters should be determined based on numerical modelling. For example, it was established that at depth 250 m the ice-soil cylinder with the wall thickness given by the Vaylov’s formula can satisfy the deformation criterion if its height is less than 0.5 m.
