We aimed to assess the temporal and spatial evolution law of the freezing temperature field of water-rich sandy soil in underground freezing engineering, taking the newly built west ventilating shaft freezing engineering in the Yuandian No. 2 Mine of Huaibei Coalfield as the engineering background. The influence of groundwater seepage on the freezing temperature field was qualitatively analyzed using field measured data. Based on the mixture medium theory, a hydrothermal coupling numerical calculation model of the freezing temperature field was established. The temporal and spatial evolution law of the freezing temperature field of water-rich sandy soil was obtained via the analysis of field measured data and numerical calculation results. It was found that the proportion of water that froze into ice in the soil mass within the freezing pipe circle is more than that outside of the freezing pipe circle; thus, the phase change in the soil mass within the freezing pipe circle is highly obvious. Groundwater seepage has an “erosion” effect on the upstream and side frozen walls and a “cooling superposition” effect on the downstream frozen wall. Under the effect of groundwater seepage of 2.81 m/d, the average temperature of the effective frozen wall during excavation is below −15 °C, while the thickness is above 5 m for the selected sandy layer at the site, meeting the construction and design requirements. When the groundwater flow rate increases from 0 to 10 m/d, the closure time of the frozen wall increases from 27 to 49 days, an 81.48% increase; the upstream thickness of the effective frozen wall decreases from 5.635 to 4.65 m, which represents a 17.48% decrease, while the downstream thickness increases from 5.664 to 7.393 m, an increase of 30.60%. The numerical calculation model in this paper can be used to predict the development law of the freezing temperature field of the water-rich sandy layers in the Yuandian No. 2 mine and to adjust the on-site cooling plan in real time according to the construction progress. This study provides some theoretical basis and reference for the construction and designs of the freezing temperature fields of water-rich sandy soil layers.
