the embankment was constructed. Lime was spread over the foundation soils to increase the shear strength of the soil through lime diffusion. In the laboratory experiments‚ vertical and horizontal deformations of the geotextile were recorded. Spreading of lime reduced the water content of the clay in the crust layer. It was observed that crust formation using lime diffusion increased the shear strength of the foundation soil thereby allowing the soil to carry larger loads. The soil was capable of

Esophageal benign stricture is the pathological stricture caused by any disease in esophageal antrum. In addition‚ the external pressure of the mucosal ring and the mediastinal tissue can also cause esophageal stricture. Benign stricture of the esophagus (BSE) can severely reduce quality of life and cause major complications such as aspiration‚ weight loss and malnutrition [1]. Esophageal stent implantation has been widely used in clinical practice‚ and this surgical method effectively alleviates

Tensile strength test The machine that is most commonly used to test the tensile strength of a material is the Hounsfeild Tensometer‚ this method has been used for many years to test all sorts of materials and with more technology the Hounsfeild Tensometer has become more accurate with digital graphs

beam. The stringer/skin can contribute up to 50% of the bending moment‚ but the bending moment contribution of spar remains 100% because of safety. The material for the entire wing structure is AL2024-T3. The compressive strength of the material is equal to tensile strength of the material. In rib sizing section‚ the cross section of the wing is constant that the wing thickness and chord are wing root thickness and mean geometric chord length to simplify the sizing process.

maleated coupling agents‚ isocyanates‚ permanganate and others are discussed. The chemical treatment of fiber aimed at improving the adhesion between the fiber surface and the polymer matrix may not only modify the fiber surface but also increase fiber strength. Water absorption of composites is reduced and their mechanical properties are improved.

Hot Line Maintenance of 400/220/132kv EHV Line At present uninterrupted supply is required in all sectors like domestic‚ agriculture‚ industrial etc. For which the 100% reliability of the transmission as well as the distribution system comes in mind. But at the same time for healthiness of the system‚ periodical and sudden required maintenance is a must. It requires planned shut-downs and unplanned as well. But it reduces the reliability & continuity. Some times even it becomes almost impossible

aluminum are in many respects similar to those made of steel. However‚ because of their lower density‚ aluminum forms are lighter than steel Forms‚ and this is their primary advantage when compared to steel. As the strength of aluminum in handling‚ tension and compression is less than the strength of steel‚ it is necessary to use large sections. The formwork turns out to be economical if large numbers of reuses are made in construction. The major disadvantage of aluminum forms is that no changes can be

Older people who took part in a structured programme of Tai Chi found that their balance and physical strength improved‚ reducing the risk of falls‚ according to a paper in the latest Journal of Advanced Nursing. Researchers studied a group of fall-prone adults‚ with an average age of 78‚ living in residential care. 29 undertook a 12-week Tai Chi course three times a week and 30 formed the non-exercise control group. They found that the physical fitness of the exercise group showed significant
