In the Netherlands the cross passages in the westerscheldetunnel were built by using artificial ground freezing. In order to know the behaviour of frozen soil, meassurements were made around some cross passages and some frost-heave and triaxial experiments were carried out. To explain the results of the experiments and later the measurements a two dimensional numeric model is developed. This mode can descriveboth the beat conduction, the water flow and the deformation os the soil. In this paper both the model and the problems with modelling frost-heave experiments are described. The results of the calculations are compared with the experiments and these correspond very well. To analyze a cross passage in the Werescfheldetunnel a three dimensional model is required which wil be developed in the future.
