Summary

THE USE OF LIQUID NITROGEN TO FREEZE WATER-BEARING ROCKS WHILE CONSTRUCTING FOUNDATIONS, FOUNDATION PITS AND SHAFT WELLS FOUND WIDE APPLICATION AS EARLY AS THE SIXTIES, IN FRANCE, ENGLAND, JAPAN, USA, USSR, AND OTHER COUNTRIES. THUS GREAT EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN GAINED IN USING LIQUID NITROGEN FOR HIGH-SPEED FREEZING OF WATER-BEARING ROCKS. NEVERTHELESS, THERE ARE SCANTY WELL-FOUNDED SCIENTIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USING LIQUID NITROGEN FREEZING METHODS. THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PROCESSES OCCURRING IN LIQUID NITROGEN FREEZING ARE MORE INTENSIVE AND COMPLICATED TO EVALUATE THAN THE PROCESSES OF TRADITIONAL BRINE FREEZING.
