This paper presents a model to predict the ultimate pullout load (Pu) for a shallow single vertical plate anchor embedded in sand and fiber reinforced sand for depth (H)/diameter (D) ratios of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. The model was developed based on literature field test results and wide laboratory investigation. The numerical analysis was performed using the...
View ArticleThe purpose of this work is the calculation of the optimal parameters involved with advanced drilling of gas-draining holes. These holes are made to floor entryways and provide an efficiency test for floor degas extractions, like the AB bed at the Uralkali’s Berizniki Ore Development Unit No 2 and Unit No 4 (Mine 2 and Mine 4). Current conditi...
View ArticleThe pozzolanic reactions, responsible for the resistance of soil-lime blends, are endothermic. As such, increasing the curing temperature in turn increases the strength of lime-stabilized soil. Recent research has shown that there is a maximum limit to the resistance of a specimen, based on its curing time. This study aims to predict the maximum tensile...
