rock sawability prediction and determination of effective parameters are important in the cost estimation and the planning of the stone factories. an accurate estimation of rock sawability and performance prediction of sawing machine helps to make the planning of the rock sawing projects more efficient. it is necessary to predict the rock sawability and determine the effective parameters to ach...

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is the mechanical properties currently used in geotechnical works design, namely in jet grouting (JG) treatments. However, when working with this soil improvement technology, due to its inherent geological complexity and high number of variables involved, such design is a hard, perhaps very hard task. To help in such task, a support vector machine (SVM), whic...

polymethyl methacrylate (pmma), widely used as a prosthodontic base, has many disadvantages, including a high thermal expansion coefficient and low thermal conductivity, a low elasticity coefficient, low impact strength and low resistance to fatigue. this study aimed to make an in vitro comparison of the thermal conductivity, compressive strength, and tensile strength of the acrylic base of com...

agricultural waste fibers have been found to be suitable as reinforcement in cement-based composites, but studies on oil palm fiber as reinforcement in gypsum-cement wall panels are scarce. a mixture of two equal weights of gypsum and cement, with water-binder ratios of 0.45 and 0.55 were prepared. in each mix a varying percentage of fiber contents of 2%, 3% and 4% by weight of the binders were...

cementing is an essential part of every drilling operation. protection of the wellbore from formation fluid invasion is one of the primary tasks of a cement job. failure in this task results in catastrophic events, such as blow outs. hence, in order to save the well and avoid risky and operationally difficult remedial cementing, slurry must be optimized to be resistant against gas migration phe...

Abstract The rock uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is the basic parameter for support designs in underground engineering. In particular, UCS should be obtained rapidly engineering with complex geological conditions, such as soft rock, fracture areas, and high stress, to adjust excavation plan ensure construction safety. To solve problem of obtaining real-time at sites, a forecast idea propos...
