This study numerically analyzed the icing process in a U-shaped pipe exposed to the outside by considering the mushy zone of freezing water. Numerical results showed that the flow was pulled outward due to the U-shaped bend in the freezing section exposed to the outside, which resulted in the ice wave formation on the wall of the bended pipe behind. At the same time, the formation of a corrugated ice layer became apparent due to the venturi effect caused by the ice. The factors affecting the freezing were investigated, including the change of the pipe wall temperature, the water inflow velocity, and the pipe bend spacing. It was found that, as a whole, the thickness of the freezing layer increased as the pipe wall temperature decreased. It was also found that the freezing layer became relatively thin when the inflow rate of water was increased, and that the spacing of the pipe bends did not significantly impact the change in the freezing layer.

Purpose: Frozen Korean traditional rice cakes (Sulgitteok and Garaetteok) were evaluated different conditions ($-20^{\circ}C$ and $-10^{\circ}C$) freezing (magnetic resonance quick freezing and air blast freezing) to study differences in quality characteristics. Methods: Experiments analyze Korean rice cakes for water content, water activity, color, textural properties, and sensory characteristics. Results: Moisture content showed high value at $-20^{\circ}C$ freezing regardless of freezing method. Water activity was higher at $-20^{\circ}C$ than $-10^{\circ}C$, and water activity higher magnetic resonance quick freezing than air blast freezing. The lightness values were higher $-20^{\circ}C$ freezing temperature compare to $-10^{\circ}C$ freezing temperature. Hardness and chewiness were the lowest $-20^{\circ}C$ magnetic resonance quick freezing. sensory evaluation both Sulgitteok and Garaetteok showed better overall acceptability at $-20^{\circ}C$ magnetic resonance quick freezing. Conclusion: Therefore, the $-20^{\circ}C$ magnetic resonance quick freezing method resulted in favorable textural properties and sensory characteristics.

In case of thaw drip loss, the freezing of -3$^{\circ}C$ and -20$^{\circ}C$ were 5.23% and 5.17% to 60 days respectively, were increased significantly during freezing. The cooking loss of water bath and pan were increased significantly during freezing than the beginning of freezing, but were no different between -3$^{\circ}C$ and -20$^{\circ}C$. The salt soluble protein extractability was decreased during freezing, the -20$^{\circ}C$ freezing was higher than -3$^{\circ}C$freezing. The water soluble protein extractability was increased during freezing higher than during freezing. The myoglobin denatured percentage of the -3$^{\circ}C$ freezing was higher than -20$^{\circ}C$ freezing, the 15 days storage of -3$^{\circ}C$ freezing was highest to 96%. The shear force value was not change during freezing, the myofibrillar fragmentation index during freezing was higher than the beginning of freezing, but was not change during freezing. The pH was decreased to freezing 45 days, after that increased.

The freezing of the water meter due to the cold wave in winter causes safety accidents caused by freezing and suspending the supply of tap water and various inconveniences. In this study, the water meter develops a test device similar to the environment in which the actual freezing occurs and tests repeatedly by changing the temperature, humidity, flow rate, pressure, valve improvement, pump operation status, etc. Based on the data obtained through this, it is planning to predict the timing of freezing by applying AI technology to correlation between freeze influencing factors.

When fresh concrete is exposed to low temperature, the concrete may suffer frost damage due to freezing at early ages and strength development may be delayed. These are problems on cold weather concrete. One of the solution methods for resolving these problems has been to reduce the freezing temperature of concrete by the use of chemical admixtures called Accelerators for freezing resistance. Therefore, in this study, we executed freezing temperature of mortar, setting and strength properties with using water reducing accelerator and accelerators for freezing resistance which are producted internationally. As a result of this experiment, the freezing temperature of mortar is lower and the setting property is promoted when the admixing content of accelerators for freezing resistance is increased. Moreover, the compressive strength of mortar used accelerators for freezing resistance represented the result which is similar with result of analysis of compressive strength increase with using logistic curve formula, but in the case of plain and using water reducing accelerator, there is no relation between logistic curve formula, maturity and compressive strength.

The brine leakage is a tough problem in artificial freezing engineering. This paper takes the common soft clay in Wujiang District as the study object, and calcium chloride solutions with six salinity levels were considered. The 'classic' cooling curve method was employed to measure the freezing point of specimens after freeze-thaw. Results indicate that four characteristic stages can be observed including supercooling, abrupt transition, equilibrium and continual freezing, strongly dependent on the variation of unfrozen water content. Two characteristic points were found from the cooling curves, i.e., freezing point and initial crystallization temperature. A critical value for the former exists at which the increment lowers. The higher the saline content approximately linearly, lower the freezing point. In the initial five cycles, the freezing point increases and then stabilizes. Besides, the degree of supercooling was calculated and its correlations with water, salt and freeze-thaw cycles were noted. Finally, an empirical equation was proposed for the relationship of freezing point and three main factors, i.e., water content, saline content and freeze-thaw cycles. Comparison of calculated and measured data proves that it is reliable and may provide guidance for the design and numerical analysis in frozen soil engineering.

The purpose of this study was to prevent spreading of contaminants from movement of underground water by creating a barrier using artificial freezing method on a soil contaminated by oils and various DNAPLs. Specimens with 80% and 90% degrees of saturation were prepared to form freezing barrier using artificial freezing method. As the results of freezing specimen within soil bin with artificial ground freezing system, artificial contaminated soil cut off wall formed the thinnest wall after 12 hours. It is judged that this cut off wall will control the second soil pollution by intercepting expansion and movement of pollutants and DNAPLs within artificial contaminated soil cut off wall by underground water, intercepting inflow or outflow of underground water. Cut off walls formed by artificial ground freezing system had each other freezing speed according to degree of saturation.

This paper was accomplished for analyzing the reason of the above deterioration happened on the deck of concrete bridge. The bridge was constructed at 660m above the sea level having more freezing and snowing days. Therefore, it is placed on the particular condition sprinkling $CaCl_2$ enough for keeping up with moderate traffic condition. When it is considered to the former condition, the bridge can be assumed to potentialities for combined deterioration with freezing-thawing under sprinkling deicing chemical. Core specimens were gathered from the concrete deck for clearing the reason of the above deterioration exactly, and it is used for various tests for measuring the compressive strength, elastic modulus, content of $Cl^-$, freezing-thawing at the fresh and salt water. As a result of freezing-thawing test, the specimen at the fresh water has over 90$\%$ of durability factor, but another specimen at 1$\%$ of salt water has 0$\%$ of durability factor at 140 cycles of the freezing-thawing. The result means that frost damage is sccelerated at the salt water. Therefore, the deterioration of the concrete deck is estimated to be occured by combined effects of freezing-thawing and chloride ion attack.

According to change of flow around a circular tube for freezing, measured a variety of salinity of frozen layer. This study was experimentally performed to investigate freezing behavior of sea water along a vertical cooled a circular tube with bubbly flow. The experiments were carried out for a variety of parameter, such as air-bubble method, cooled -tube temperature and air-flow rate. It was found that the experimental parameters gave a great influence on the freezing rate and the salinity of the frozen layer.
