ABSTRACT Technical Paper by A. Edinçliler and E. Güler GEOTEXTILE-REINFORCED EMBANKMENTS ON SOFT CLAYS - EFFECTS OF A FOUNDATION SOIL CRUST STRENGTHENED BY LIME DIFFUSION ABSTRACT: This paper presents the results of a study of the effects of a lime crust in the foundation soil‚ obtained by lime diffusion‚ on the performance of nonwoven geotextile-reinforced embankments. The study consists of laboratory model tests to simulate failure mechanisms during the construction and lifetime of embankments

Machine-room-less A machine room is typically 25% of the total elevator cost for geared traction and slightly less for hydraulic elevators. Without the machine room‚ developers will have more area to rent out or sell. 2. More comfortable ride “ EcoDisc” offers a more comfortable ride as compared to a gearless traction elevator‚ the most expensive option for an elevator. 3

Introduction An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety system on motor vehicles which prevents the wheels from locking while braking. The Anti-lock Braking System is designed to maintain vehicle control‚ directional stability and optimum deceleration under severe braking conditions on most road surfaces It does so by monitoring the rotational speed of each wheel and controlling the brake line pressure to each wheel during braking. This prevents the wheels from locking up.

the Romans‚ who used the term opus caementicium to describe masonry resembling modern concrete that was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives that were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum‚ cimentum‚ cäment‚ and cement. Cement is made by grinding together limestone and shales (a mixture of aluminosilicates) and heating the mixture to about 1500oC. The chemical reaction releases carbondioxide

Fracking is a fairly new method of extracting natural gas. Fracking can be defined as a method to remove natural gas from the ground. Another way to describe fracking also known as hydraulic fracturing is the process of creating fissures in underground formations to allow natural gas to flow (Natural Gas Extraction – Hydraulic Fracturing | US EPA). This allows the gasses to leak through the cracks to be effectively captured and stored for use. The process for fracking is as follows: First they begin by

Although they are not able to market to this group the benefits of gearless traction can be used in comparison to the geared and hydraulic elevator systems. One problem that was learned from the preliminary markets was that customers worried that KONE would be able to price gauge them since they were the only ones with this sort of technology.

Sales by types also show that nearly 90% of all elevators sold are either geared traction or hydraulic‚ and that 75% of all equipment sales comes from low-rise elevators. Therefore‚ KONE should market their product near the geared traction and above the hydraulic system‚ by doing this they would still keep all the benefits that the hydraulic product has to offer and slightly match the benefits of the geared traction
