Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStability of Rock Pillars with Singular and Persistent DiscontinuitiesPierpaolo OresteProblem statement: The strength of rock pillars in the presence of single, persistent, natural discontinuities can seriously be compromised and lead the pillar to collapse because of instability along the discontinuity itself. Approach: A specific analysis method for this kind of problem has been set up in this study to evaluate the stability of pillars and to determine the dimension … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2012 · 6,751 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGreen Building Construction Thermal Isolation Materials (Rockwool)Mahmoud ItewiProblem statement: Building insulation consisting roughly to anything in a structure that is utilizes as insulation for any reason. Thermal insulation in structures is a significant feature to attaining thermal comfort for its tenants. Approach: Insulation decreases unnecessary warmth loss or gain and can reduce the power burdens of heating and cooling structures. It does not automatically having anything to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 9,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRock Slopes Failure Susceptibility Analysis: From Remote Sensing Measurements to Geographic Information System Raster ModulesFilipello Andrea, Giuliani Andrea, Mandrone GiuseppeProblem statement: Two important step can be recognised in the rockfall analysis: the potential failure detection and the run out simulation. Analyzing the stability of rock slopes, most important kinematisms are planar or wedge slidings and topplings. The aim of this study was to coupling a deterministic approach for landslide initiation (potential rockfall source areas) with a runout analysis by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMost Used Rock Mass Classifications for Underground OpeningAl-Jbori A’ssim, Zhang Y. XingProblem statement: Rock mass characterization is an integral part of rock engineering practice. The empirical design methods based on rock mass classifications systems provide quick assessments of the support requirements for underground excavations at any stage of a project, even if the available geotechnical data are limited. The underground excavation industry tends to lean on empirical approaches such as rock … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,274 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNovel Approach for Characterizing Solid Rocket Motor (SRM)Aliyu Bhar Kisabo, Ngozi Nwokolo, Aliyu Funmilayo Adebimpe, Sholiyi Olusegun SamuelTo characterize SRM, the motor needs to be tested on a static test rig and certain performers indicators evaluated. In this study, the thrust with time from the SRM was acquired via a Digital Acquisition (DAQ) System and saved in Microsoft Excel® format(.csv). These thrust and time of the tested motor were then imported into MATLAB® for the purpose of … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 24 May 2019 · 6,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Potassium Fulvic Acid and DA-6 on the Growth and Yield of Tomato Cultivated with Rock WoolXiao Huaijuan, Zhou Yan, Mao Ke et al.Potassium fulvic acid and diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6) are two kinds of growth regulators with yield increasing and quality improving. There are few reports on the effects of adding potassium fulvic acid and DA-6 in nutrient solution on the growth of soilless culture of vegetables. In this study, tomato was used as the test material to add different concentrations of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2020 · 8,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCavern Design Philosophy under High Stress Rock Condition a Case Study in Sri LankaBahram SalehiFor stabilizing of rock cavern stress condition and orientation, rock properties and cavern geometry have determinant effects. Numerical and analytical study and knowledge about self-support arching can assist to designer in appropriate understanding of cavern and ground interaction. The comparative studies by E. Hoek, showed that the mushroom shaped cavern was not an acceptable design because of high value stress … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 21 Mar 2017 · 7,978 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimplified Analysis of the Lining Behavior During Earthquakes in Deep Rock TunnelsPierpaolo OresteThe sizing of the lining of a tunnel requires to consider not only the static loads transmitted from the surrounding rock, but also the effects of earthquakes on the stresses and strains of the lining. The detailed evaluation of the interaction earthquake-lining using numerical methods typically requires very long calculation time and can be limited to the verification of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 4 May 2015 · 6,901 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of the Stability of Underground Rock Pillars through a Probabilistic ApproachMassimo Guarascio, Pierpaolo OresteProblem statement: When the room and pillar mining method is adopted, the dimensioning of the rock pillars is one of the most important aspects that need to be faced from the engineering point of view. The available calculation methods are usually simplified and involve the areas of influence method for the evaluation of the mean axial stress induced in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 30 Jun 2012 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRocks with Asbestos: Risk Evaluation by Means of an Abrasion TestBellopede Rossana, Clerici Carlo, Marini Paola, Zanetti GiovannaNaturally occurring asbestos and asbestiform minerals can be found in metamorphic rocks and in the soil of the alluvial plains. Problem statement: The definition of the "free-asbestos rock" and the limit to consider a rock or a soil safe is still a controversial issue. American and European laws did not present any method to define the hazard of the green … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,667 accessesView PDFCite
