To illustrate the general design process, three study cases where ground freezing was evaluated for tunneling beneath mainline railroad tracks are ;resented. A laboratory testing program, consisting of both static creep t e s t s ~ repeated iced triaxial tests~ was conducted to define the stremgth add deformation characteristics of the case study soils frozen to -7 de~ C add -i0 deg C. It was determined that the stressstrain characteristics of the frozen soil could be approximated by a hyperbolic function. The finite element method was used to calculate the stress distribution in the frozen tunnel liners.

Publ Reno: University of Nevada, 1978 Observation amd measurements were taken in the initial 1600 m of a tunnal driven by means of a tunnel boring machine through approximately equal lengths of sandstone, llmestone~ ard mudstone. This paper summarizes the structure and material properties of the in-situ rock in each of the principal lithologies and relates these features to the construction history. Attention is directed to the performance of the tunnal boring machine in light of the geological conditions. In addition, the results of seismic scans, taken along, the tunnel, are summarized and compared with the grounl encountered.
