Interpretation methods of Statnamic load test results.

The experimental investigation on the effects of granular fill and geogrid reinforced granular fill on the behaviour of the static liquefaction potential of the subsoil is reported in this study. A series of plate load test were carried out with different thickness of the granular fill, number of geogrid layers, and size/dimension of the footing. The test results were presented in terms of bearing capacity and subgrade modulus for the settlement ofδ10,δ15, andδ20. The experimental results revealed that the introduction of granular fill significantly increases the bearing capacity and effectively control the settlement behaviour of the footing. The introduction of geogrid in granular fill enhanced the Percentage of Control in Settlement and Bearing Capacity Ratio by a maximum of 328.54% and 203.41%, respectively. The introduction of geogrid in granular fill interrupts the failure zone of the granular fill and enhances the subgrade modulus of the footing by a maximum of 255.55%; in addition subgrade modulus of the footing was increased with an increase in the number of geogrid layers. Based on the test results it is suggested that the footing with large size has beneficial improvement on the reinforced granular fill.

Heavy Duty Gas Turbine

The MS7001F heavy–duty gas turbine has been designed utilizing advanced analytical methods and a substantial array of component tests. The integrity of the system required that the prototype unit, with its accessories, be rigorously tested under load. The factory load test was completed on May 18, 1988 after 387 hours and 134 start/stop cycles. The MS7001F prototype gas turbine was instrumented with more than 3000 pieces of instrumentation in order to record all critical temperatures, pressures, flows, strains, displacements, and other pertinent data. The load device was a modified MS7001E compressor, which also supplied the means by which the MS7001F prototype compressor’s pressure ratio was increased to provide for surge margin determination. Inlet throttling of the MS7001F compressor allowed for full firing temperature operation, at reduced load. The results of this factory prototype load test are reported in the paper as are observations made during post test teardown.

Testing Experiment

Based on the reinforcing mechanism of dynamic replacement method ,this article put forward the construction parameters and measures of dynamic replacement method , combining with the result of actual engineering field testing experiment. The field load test, standard penetration test and pore water pressure test results show that the characteristic value of subgrade bearing capacity is more than 130 kpa when the tailings residue subgrade has been managed with dynamic replacement method, providing references for applied research on dynamic replacement method in tailings residue subgrade reinforcement.

Testing Scheme

Floor slab static load test is a important method to judge the performance and carrying capacity of the slab. This paper, with the background of a factory frame-structure slab, introduced the testing scheme, the details of the testing process as well as the test results. The testing cases provide a useful reference for the same type of project.
