Cement

In engineering, be that as it may, the Romans consumed some imperative methods from the Etruscans before Greek impact was conclusively felt. This incorporated the arch and the vault, which were bound to convey Roman designing into an advancement specifically far from that of antiquated Greece, who favored "post-and-lintel" building techniques to curves and arches. Accordingly was established the framework of the art in which the Italic people groups were to outperform the Hellenes: auxiliary…

the difficulty of obtaining a reliable primary cement job in several respects, and primary cement failure was a direct cause of the blowout. However, this decision was still made and executed, without evaluating the potential risk of primary cement failure, which resulted in the tragic loss of eleven lives at the Deepwater Horizon. Some other decisions also reflected the same stance of BP during its decision-making process, such as not running cement evaluation log, not waiting for foam…

The cement that was pumped in the pipeline had failed multiple test which BP failed to recognize. This was the major reason for the oil and gas to escape to the rig. Finally, the last quality standard that was not met was the BOP used had a fifty percent fail…

Risk is the very broad chance of loss occurrence arising out of the uncertainty in certain actions/situations. Not only is this concept applicable to people in themselves, such as personal, property, and other losses, but businesses as well. Businesses must seek to truly grasp and appreciate the liabilities that they may face due to the hazards and perils of their operations/ business factors and mitigate these. Risk management is the practice of understanding and controlling for the problems…

Introduction In my research I explored how the discharge and pH of a river are related and if there is any correlation between the two. Discharge is the measure of the total volume of water at a certain point in time recorded in cubic feet per second. pH is the acidity or alkalinity of the water measured on a scale from 1 to 14. I was interested to see if river discharge and pH levels had any relation and if the data collected could show any correlation. This information could be used to…

aqueducts, that were located in mainly rivers with the purpose of transporting water to areas in which otherwise had none. Aqueducts were designed to be flat bottomed, arched sectioned buildings made to withstand hazardous weather. In Rome, these cement waterways were also capable of being used as a bridge , so they could be a multi-purpose structure. These conduits were used where geographical obstacles, such as a valley or ravine, created arid conditions due to the lack of water.…

The art museum that I was able to visit is called the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. This is a fairly small museum. It exhibited a peaceful ambiance. The arts it included were mostly paintings. Overall, I was not impressed with the museum. The museum displayed artists with a lot of bright colors that really jumped out at you. I personally prefer classical art over contemporary art. I feel that classical art has more of a calming feel to it. I also really like art from the Hellenistic…

Long Purple Teeth In the darkness, all I could see of the creature were its glowing tentacles, sparkling eyes, and long purple teeth. I stood unwillingly on the small patch of dead, faded grass, cornered by two walls. The walls, made of thick cement, began to feel like they were caving in on me. My eyes shifted to see what could have been a door behind the creature. It was the only way out. The eight-foot-tall creature stood hovering over me. It opened its mouth, revealing all of its gruesome…

climate change into action by evaluating different structures to limit erosion. The breakwater, caisson, and rubble mound/cement filled caisson are three offshore structures that have been proven to constrain erosion. The reason for this study is to figure out which offshore structure most adequately dwindles waves' effect on the shoreline. My hypothesis is that the rubble mound/cement filled caisson will be the most effective structure. The question this study seeks to answer is a simple one:…
