Sushil Bhandari (1997) defined vibration as a repeated movement in the normal rest position. The parameters involved with vibration are commonly amplitude or displacement and velocity or acceleration of the ground movement (Visvan, 2005). During demolition operation, vibration is normally caused by the impact of fallen structures or by the use of explosives (BS 6187:2000), which could pose detrimental effects of structural damage of adjacent premises, buried services like gas pipes, disturbance…

Key Design Drivers The following were the key design drivers for the lower and middle completion string: • Desire not rotate SAS completion string if possible, configuration was set-up with the ability to rotate to bottom (swivel system utilized as contingency) but not as primary method of installation. Note: all previous Husky wells have been installed without rotation • Offset well friction data and the as-drilled 216mm open hole friction factors used to provide accurate T&D analysis prior to…

ARCHITECTURE: Most houses were made of block. The banks of the Nile gave the mud used to make blocks. Block creators gathered mud, added straw and water to it as required, and stepped it with their feet until it achieved the correct consistency. The blend was then put in a shape. Once formed, the blocks were expelled from the shape and left on the ground to dry in the sun. Egyptian workers would have lived in basic mud-block homes containing just a couple household items: beds, stools, boxes…

Laboratory Report 2: Soil Texture, Bulk density and Porosity Introduction Soil Texture The classification of soil texture is determined by the percentage of each of the soil separates. Soil separates are mineral particles smaller than 2mm, and these particles are sand, silt and clay. These textures are separated by the size of the particles, with sand being the largest between 2mm and 0.05mm, silt at between 0.05mm and 0.002mm, and clay at <0.002mm. The size of the particles influences the…

Vapour diffusion retarders and air barriers are designed to keep a building healthy and strong by preventing moisture infiltration, neutralizing differences in air pressure and preventing heat exchange. Each performs a different function although some materials serve as both an air barrier and a vapour retarder. The Difference Between Air Barriers and Vapour Retarders Architects, engineers and others involved in building science research and construction examine the way that both air and…
