Characterization of smear zone caused by mandrel action
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study, the smear zone due to vertical drain installation is studied using a large, in situ sample to capture the realistic characteristics of the smear zone in relation to the in situ soil structure. The smear zone extent for Bulli clay (New South Wales, Australia) is quantified on the basis of normalised permeability and the reduction in the water content prior to consolidation. The permeability and compressibility of the soil are used to determine the extent to which the soil surrounding the PVD had become disturbed. In laboratory testing, the soil consolidation behavior due to a prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) is studied using a large scale consolidometer apparatus.

Conceptual model describing smear zone caused by mandrel action
In this study the characteristics and extent of the smear zone are investigated using a large, undisturbed sample. The aim of using such a sample is to capture the realistic characteristics of the smear zone in relation to the in situ soil structure during the installation of prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) using a mandrel. The extent of the smear zone for Bulli clay (New South Wales, Aust...
متن کاملCurrent state of the art in vacuum preloading for stabilising soft soil
In this paper the analytical solutions for radial consolidation that include time dependent surcharge loading and vacuum pressure are proposed, whilst also considering the impact of the parabolic variation of permeability in the smear zone. The use of the spectral method for multilayered soil consolidation is introduced and verified. The Elliptical Cavity Expansion Theory is used to predict the...
متن کاملUpper Bound Analysis of Tube Extrusion Process Through Rotating Conical Dies with Large Mandrel Radius
In this paper, an upper bound approach is used to analyze the tube extrusion process through rotating conical dies with large mandrel radius. The material under deformation in the die and inside the container is divided to four deformation zones. A velocity field for each deformation zone is developed to evaluate the internal powers and the powers dissipated on all frictional and velocity disco...
متن کاملEffect of Mandrel Rotation on the Accuracy of Computed Temperature Profile during Near Net Shape Forming by Plasma Spraying
Near net shape processing by plasma spray forming (PSF) is a rapid prototyping technique that involves deposition of ceramic coating on the mandrel and its removal as a free-standing structure. This process requires a precise control of the temperature attained by the mandrel during spraying. This article describes the improvement in the accuracy of the temperature prediction of the mandrel by ...
متن کاملPap smear.
A Pap smear, also known as Papanicoloau smear, is a microscopic examination of cells scraped from the cervix and is used to detect cancerous or pre-cancerous conditions of the cervix or other medical conditions. It was named after Dr. George N. Papanicoloau, who first described it in 1928 and since its introduction, the Pap smear has helped reduce cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates b...
