Jacking of a railroad overpass with soil stabilization and waterproofing by ground freezing
Abstract
For an underpass below a highly frequented railroad line ground freezing using liquid nitrogen was used both for stabilising the embankment and waterproofing the soil. This paper describes the waterproofing by ground freezing, which was used to avoid groundwater pollution by chemical grouting and stability problems in the railroad embankment by jet grouting. Stabilization of the embankment by ground freezing is described in an earlier paper about a former project by the same author (see references).
