CPT-based design method for helical piles in sand

Helical piles are used extensively for low and medium rise developments and are a popular foundation solution in cases where resistance to significant uplift loads is required. The ability to re-use helical piles and recent interest in their use as foundations in offshore wind and solar energy applications has renewed interest in improving existing design methods. This paper presents the results from field investigations in medium dense and dense sand that examine effects on the axial tension and compression capacity of varying the helix pitch, shaft diameter, advancement ratio and shaft tip geometry. The results from the 20 pile tests conducted (many of which included instrumentation) indicate low sensitivity to a range of the investigated parameters and a strong correlation of the capacity to the cone penetration test resistance. A design method based on these findings is proposed for typical helical pile geometries and is shown to provide predictions that are generally within 10 to 15% of the axial capacities reported for 30 other well documented pile tests reported in the literature. The method, referred to as UWASP-22, incorporates a simple means of estimating the load-displacement response of a helical pile as well as a formulation enabling prediction of the installation torque which is a common quality control measure for helical piles.

Optimization of helical soil nailing behaviors by response surface methodology and hybrid Coot optimization

AbstractSoil nailing is one of the effective methods of slope stabilization, and its stability mainly depends on the properties of both the soil and soil nails. Optimizing soil nailing parameters is an effective task to avoid installation issues. This work uses four input parameters: different shaft diameters, surcharge pressure, helical pitch, and inclination angle. The design plan for the experimentation is conducted using Box Behnken design (BBD) of response surface methodology (RSM), performed in design expert software. In addition, RSM is used to determine the optimal design combinations. A total of 25 experimental runs are taking place, and the significance of the developed quadratic model is determined using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. Hybrid deep belief network‐based Coot optimization (DBN‐CO) is also used to optimize the pull‐out capacity and the safety factor during installation for more precised prediction. When compared to others the proposed hybrid DBN‐CO predictive model represents the better performance with regression R = 0.99. Also least MSE & RMSE and highest R & R2 values obtained by hybrid DBN‐CO. The obtained experimental outcomes from RSM are 1.46 of safety factor, and 7.55 kN pull‐out capacity. The predicted results from the proposed hybrid DBN‐CO for the safety factor are 1.44 and pull‐out capacity is 7.77 kN. As a result, the optimal results of DBN‐CO are 3% greater than RSM, DBN, and artificial neural network (ANN). Based on prediction approaches the proposed hybrid DBN‐CO results are in perfect agreement with experimental values and are additional superior to the RSM, DBN, and ANN.

Optimal Selection of the Mother Wavelet in WPT Analysis and Its Influence in Cracked Railway Axles Detection

The detection of cracked railway axles by processing vibratory signals measured during operation is the focus of this study. The rotodynamic theory is applied to this specific purpose but, in practice and for real systems, there is no consensus on applying the results obtained from theory. Finding reliable patterns that change during operation would have advantages over other currently applied methods, such as non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, because data between inspections would be obtained during operation. Vibratory signal processing techniques in the time-frequency domain, such as wavelet packet transform (WPT), have proved to be reliable to obtain patterns. The aim of this work is to develop a methodology to select the optimal function associated with the WPT, the mother wavelet (MW), and to find diagnostic patterns for cracked railway axle detection. In previous related works, the Daubechies 6 MW was commonly used for all speed/load conditions and defects. In this work, it was found that the Symlet 9 MW works better, so a comparative study was carried out with both functions, and it was observed that the success rates obtained with Daubechies 6 are improved when using Symlet 9. Specifically, defects above 16.6% of the shaft diameter were reliably detected, with no false alarms. To validate the proposed methodology, experimental vibratory signals of a healthy scaled railway axle were obtained and then the same axle was tested with a transverse crack located close to a section change (where this type of defect typically appears) for nine different crack depths.

Long-term axial performance of continuous-flight pile in frozen soil

A number of buildings in the Canadian Arctic communities have failed or showed signs of failure of pile foundations caused by climate-change-induced excessive settlements. Effects of climate change warrant alternative pile types and new installation methods. Installing a pile into frozen soils by the torque method is rare in current practice of the Canadian Arctic. The continuous-flight pile is a new foundation type that is installed by torque. This study is aimed at investigating the axial load transfer of continuous-flight piles in frozen soils under long-term loads. A primary objective is to examine the effects of soil temperature, water content, and soil salinity on the resistance and the failure mode of continuous-flight piles in frozen soils. A series of axial load tests of model continuous-flight piles with a shaft diameter of 89 mm were carried out in the lab. Results show that primary and secondary creeps were observed during the constant load tests. The cylindrical shear mode and individual bearing mode were observed and inferred from the measured data. The adfreeze shear resistance and the individual plate bearing resistance under constant loads were estimated and verified using data from the literature. The adfreeze resistance increased with the applied load, and the plate bearing resistance increased as the normalized pile displacement rate increased. The mobilized adfreeze and plate bearing resistances suggest a potential increased load capacity of the continuous-flight pile compared to conventional smooth piles of similar diameter.

Feasibility of 3D-printed middle ear prostheses in partial ossicular chain reconstruction.

Despite advances in prosthesis materials, operating microscopes and surgical techniques during the last 50 years, long-lasting hearing improvement remains a challenge in ossicular chain reconstruction. Failures in the reconstruction are mainly due to inadequate length or shape of the prosthesis, or defects in the surgical procedure. 3D-printed middle ear prosthesis might offer a solution to individualize treatment and obtain better results. The aim of the study was to study the possibilities and limitations of 3D-printed middle ear prostheses. Design of the 3D-printed prosthesis was inspired by a commercial titanium partial ossicular replacement prosthesis. 3D models of different lengths (1.5-3.0 mm) were created with Solidworks 2019-2021 software. The prostheses were 3D-printed with vat photopolymerization using liquid photopolymer Clear V4. Accuracy and reproducibility of 3D printing were evaluated with micro-CT imaging. The acoustical performance of the prostheses was determined in cadaver temporal bones with laser Doppler vibrometry. In this paper, we present an outline of individualized middle ear prosthesis manufacturing. 3D printing accuracy was excellent when comparing dimensions of the 3D-printed prostheses and their 3D models. Reproducibility of 3D printing was good if the diameter of the prosthesis shaft was 0.6 mm. 3D-printed partial ossicular replacement prostheses were easy to manipulate during surgery even though they were a bit stiffer and less flexible than conventional titanium prostheses. Their acoustical performance was similar to that of a commercial titanium partial ossicular replacement prosthesis. It is possible to 3D print functional individualized middle ear prostheses made of liquid photopolymer with good accuracy and reproducibility. These prostheses are currently suitable for otosurgical training. Further research is needed to explore their usability in a clinical setting. In the future, 3D printing of individualized middle ear prostheses may provide better audiological outcomes for patients.

A Theoretical-Experimental Study on the Influence of FDM Parameters on the Dimensions of Cylindrical Spur Gears Made of PLA

This paper presents the results of a theoretical-experimental study on the influence of FDM parameters (height of the deposited layer at one pass Hs and percentage of filling Pu) on the dimensions of cylindrical spur gears made of PLA (shaft diameter d and bore diameter D). In this context, we designed the 3D model of a cylindrical gear with module m= 1 and z= 60 spur teeth, which we used for FDM 3D printing of 27 PLA parts with different values of coating height deposited at a pitch Hs of 0.10, 0.15, 0.20mm and different values 50, 75, and 100% of filling percentage Pu. The 324 values obtained from measuring the diameters d and D of 27 cylindrical spur gears made of PLA and the calculated values of statistical indicators (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, dispersion) were used to determine the dimensional accuracy of the analyzed parts. The study results show that the percentage of filling has a greater influence than the shaft diameter on the dimensional accuracy of cylindrical spur gears made of PLA.

The difference of scope size could lead to the difference of intrarenal pressure (IRP) during retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). However, no previous study has directly compared IRP among different su-URS. The aim of this in-vitro study was to evaluate IRP during RIRS and compare those among various su-URS. METHODS: We created an artificial kidney model with a pressure sensor by using bladder evacuation device. The model was completely closed and the only back flow was on the side of the ureteroscope inside the ureteral access sheath (UAS) (Figure 1). We tested five su-URS (LithoVue, Wiscope, PU3022A, PU3033A and AXIS) with six different UAS (9.5/11.5Fr-14/16Fr). Using the automatic irrigation system, 30 seconds of irrigation was performed at various pressure (40-180mmHg) and steady state IRP was recorded. Six runs were tested per setting. We compared IRP among five su-URS. The diameter of endoscope tip and shaft were also measured and recorded. RESULTS: The diameter of endoscope tip was smallest in PU3033A, while the diameter of other endoscopes was almost similar. The diameter of endoscope shaft was largest in LithoVue, followed by PU3022A, AXIS, Wiscope and PU3033A. Measured IRP was different among su-URS, and endoscopes with larger shaft diameter tended to have higher IRP (Figure 2). Assuming that the cutoff value of IRP for the risk of postoperative sepsis was 30mmHg, the suitable size of UAS was considered to be 12/14Fr or more for LithoVue and PU3022A, 11/13Fr or more for AXIS and Wiscope and 10/12 Fr or more for PU3033A. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggested that the size of endoscope shaft might affect IRP during RIRS, and IRP and suitable size of UAS could be different among various su-URS.

Modeling geysers triggered by an air pocket migrating with running water in a pipeline

Storm sewer systems may experience storm geysers, raising concerns about public safety. A thorough understanding of the influential factors of the geysers is essential yet insufficiently investigated in the literature. A transient three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics model incorporating the volume of fluid method is used to investigate the geyser formation mechanism and hydrodynamics. An air pocket in a pressurized pipe travels with water past a vertical shaft, producing an air-releasing geyser and, subsequently, a rapid-filling geyser. If the air pocket in the pipe is too small or if it moves too quickly, a hybrid geyser might be set off when the air-releasing and rapid-filling geysers overlap. A hybrid geyser has unique properties since it combines an air-releasing geyser and a rapid-filling geyser. The presence of hybrid geysers lowers the height of air-releasing and rapid-filling geysers. Equations are proposed for predicting the heights of the geysers with errors of about 15%. The height of the air-releasing geyser increases with the water level in the shaft. As the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipe reduces, the height of the rapid-filling geyser increases. The vertical shaft diameter has little influence on rapid-filling geysers, while a small diameter often results in high air-releasing geysers. The effect on the height of both kinds of geysers is negligible when the air pocket volume is large enough. The findings can be used for designing storm geyser mitigation measures.

This screw turbine is expected to be another alternative as a pico-hydro scale power plant.

Design and Fabrication of Stair Climbing Trolley

This research presents the design and performance test of a stair-climbing trolley. The aim of this project is to develop a mechanism for easy transportation of heavy loads over stairs. The need for such a system arises from day-to-day requirements in our society. In this research, the shaft diameter is calculated by using the bending strength of the beam. A mild steel shaft is selected for design to obtain high strength. Several designs were conceived that would allow a non-industrial hand trolley to travel over stairs, curbs, or uneven terrain while reducing the strain on the user. In our project, the trolley is equipped with Tri-Star wheels, enabling us to carry a load up and down the stairs. It also eases the movement of the trolley on irregular surfaces like holes, bumps, etc.

Design and Construction of Vertical Livestock Feed Mixer

The development of a feed mixer plays a vital role in optimizing the feed production process in various agricultural and livestock industries. Thus, for better nutrition, improved feed efficiency, cost, and waste reduction, locally designed and fabricated feed mixers using locally available materials are essential and highly required. The volume of the mixing chamber, shaft diameter, belt selection, pulley diameter, and required power to drive the shaft were well designed for. The developed feed mixer comprises the mixing chamber, hopper, auger, bearings, electric motor, and pulley, which are major components of the machine. Angle Iron bars and 2mm sheet metal made of mild steel were used in the fabrication of the frame and the mixing chamber, respectively. The degree of mixing of the sample that was collected at the end of each test and the coefficient of variation percentage were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the machine mixing operation. At a mixing shaft speed of 560 rpm and a mixing time of 4.5 minutes, the optimum values of coefficient of variation (12.01%) and degree of mixing (88.21%) were achieved. However, the fabricated feed mixing machine was evaluated to be 92% efficient.

Design and development of hydraulic controlled tractor front mounted twin conveyor onion (Allium cepa) digger

In India and many developing countries harvesting of onion (Allium cepa L.) crop is done manually which is cumbersome and time-consuming. The tractor-operated front-mounted twin conveyor onion digger was designed and developed during 2019 in Divisional Workshop (Farm Machinery and Power Engineering) at Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. It had five blades made of mild steel (320 mm × 150 mm × 12 mm size) bolted to the base plate instead of one single share to strengthen the share. Onion and soil were separated over conveying unit. Power from the rear PTO (Power take-off) of a tractor to the front-mounted digging unit was conveyed through a power transmission unit which consisted of a gear reduction unit, V-belt and pulley arrangement, and 40 mm diameter of the propeller shaft. The lifting, lowering, and depth were controlled with the help of two single-acting hydraulic cylinders. The biometric and physical properties of onion bulbs (Agri found light red) were found average with equatorial and polar diameter, plant height, neck thickness, and weight of onion dry leaves as 36.19 and 37.19 mm, 284.05 mm, 6.80 mm and 30.19 g respectively. The average soil cone index, moisture content, and bulk density (before transplanting and harvesting) of soil were observed to be 1 kg/cm2, 17.22,12.58%, and 1.50, 1.38 g/cm3 respectively. The performance evaluation in the field found a maximum percentage of exposed and minimum damaged bulbs as 82.55% and 13.51% respectively, at a forwarding speed of 1.5 kmph and conveyor speed of 2 kmph. The field efficiency of the machine was 87.46%.

Determination of Diameter of Belled Shafts with respect to Uplift Forces Resulted From Expansive Soil Layer in Active Zone

Expansive soils are found in many parts of the world that are especially arid and semi-arid regions. They have caused several damages of lightweight structures for decades. For this reason, a more suitable foundation type should be selected and designed for the lightweight structures built on these soils. For example, the application of belled shaft foundation at expansive soil layer is preferable method in practice. However, one of the worst cases at the design of this foundation is accepted that the swelling of expansive soil placed in active zone. Therefore, this condition should be taken into account at the design process of this foundation. In this study, the diameter of belled shaft was separately determined with respect to some factors such as the diameter of shaft, the depth of active zone, the friction angle between shaft and soil, and the ratio between the undrained cohesion of soil at stable zone and the swelling pressure of expansive soil placed in active zone. In the calculation process, four different shaft diameters that are 0.3 m, 0. 45 m, 0.60 m, and 0.75 m were utilized. Also the depth of active zone that started from 1.5 m to 15 m was specified. To sum up, the optimum shaft diameter was found as 0.45 m.

Numerical Methodology to Evaluate Trackability and Pushability of PTCA Balloon Catheter.

During percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the ability to navigate a catheter without causing injury to the vessel and damage to the device is crucial outcome of the procedure. This study aimed to develop a numerical model to analyse the percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) catheter navigation in coronary vessels. Trackability and pushability are two major parameters used to characterize the navigation of PTCA balloon catheters, and they are influenced by vessel tortuosity, contact interactions and catheter design. In the current study, finite element analysis model is presented to evaluate trackability and pushability considering two different vessel geometries. Impact of contact interactions among catheter, guidewire, and vessel were studied to validate the numerical model with in vitro test data. Further, a parametric study was conducted to understand the influence of distal shaft, and proximal shaft outer diameter. Obtained results suggest that contact interaction and co-efficient of friction between guidewire and catheter are critical parameters to obtain numerical results comparable to experimental data. Results from the parametric study predicted strong positive correlation of distal shaft diameter on pushability, and weak correlation on trackability force. Furthermore, parametric variation in proximal shaft diameter has strong positive correlation on trackability force and strong negative correlation on pushability. Numerical methodology presented in this study is a preliminary attempt to simulate the behavior of PTCA balloon catheter navigation. This methodology will be helpful in the design and optimization of PTCA balloon catheter and similar devices with improved deliverability.

Experimental evaluation of the energy dissipation efficiency of the vortex flow section of drop shafts

In urban wastewater collection and drainage networks, vortex structures are recruited to transfer fluid between two conduits with significant level differences. During the drop shaft, in addition to preventing the fluid from falling due to vortex flow formation, a significant amount of the fluid energy is dissipated due to wall friction of vertical shaft. In the present study, by constructing a physical model with a scale of 1:10 made of Plexiglas, the energy dissipation efficiency in the vertical shaft has been investigated. In this way, the performance of dimensional analysis indicates that the flow Froude number (Fr) and the ratio of drop total height to shaft diameter (L⁄D) are parameters affecting the efficiency of flow energy dissipation in the vertical shaft (ηs). This research considers four levels of Fr factor (1.77, 2.01, 2.18, and 2.32) and three levels of L⁄D factor (10, 13, and 16). Additionally, four replications for 12 possible combinations allow us to carry out 48 experiments and the full factorial method. The results demonstrated that the energy dissipation efficiency in the vertical shaft changes varies from 10.80 to 62.29%. Moreover, ηs values decrease with an increase in Fr whereas the efficiency increases with increasing L⁄D ratio. Furthermore, the regression analysis gave a second-order polynomial equation which is a function of Fr and L⁄D to accurately estimate the flow energy dissipation efficiency in the vertical shaft.
