Optimal design of a borehole heat exchanger, as the outer part of a ground source heat pump heating system, requires information on the thermal properties of the soil. Those data, the effective thermal conductivity of the soil ?eff and the average temperature of the soil T0, enable us to determine the necessary number and depth of boreholes. The determination of thermal conductivity of the soil in laboratory experiments does not usually coincide with the data under in-situ conditions. Therefore, an in-situ method of experimental determination of these parameters, the so-called thermal response test, is presented in this paper. In addition to the description of the experimental procedure and installation overview, the paper describes methods based on theory and presents their basic limitations, through the presentation of experimental data.

Geotechnical assessment of the implementation correctness of a road embankment wide range of issues, among which important selection and control of the quality of the earthworks are extremely significant. The article presents results of in situ tests determining correlations between the depending parameters defined by a static plate – VSS test – E1 and E2, and obtained from the study LFG Dynamic Load Plate. Studies indicate that the determination of the correlation between the parameters characterizing the particle size distribution (Cc, Cu, D10, D20, D30, D60), and the compaction parameters obtained by examining the compaction of sand embankment (Evd, E1, E2, I0) is physically complex and hence extremely difficult.

In order to evaluate overconsolidation ratio (OCR) of soil, the necessity to restore them as much as possible to in situ conditions appears, because sometimes when it is not taken into account, mistakes could be made while interpreting mechanical – strength properties of the soil. According to the work purpose, overconsolidation ratio of the investigated soil was set by performing odometer test and the obtained values were compared with the OCR calculated from cone and seismic penetration data. When the tests were performed and data analysed, it was found that OCR values depends on soil occurance depth, strength characteristics and stress conditions. The OCR values decreases with the declination of the depth. As many authors noted in the literature – the upper part of the soil is consolidated abnormally, thereby we can see that in our work. When results are evaluate, we can conclude that all of the analysed soils was overconsolidation. That was demonstrated by calculations according static penetration, oedometer test and seismic waves results. OCR values differences between the laboratory and field tests can show low quality of soil sampling, also due to correlations which was applied.

A method was developed to interpret the horizontal permeability (kh) from pressuremeter pressure hold tests (PHTs) of approximately 3 min duration. The method relies on a regression analysis of the numerical analysis simulating the consolidation of clay under a constant pressure boundary during undrained expansion. The method was applied to a series of PHTs performed in deep clay formations in the Seattle area. The interpreted permeabilities are thought to be more representative of in situ conditions than those determined by laboratory testing by virtue of reduced disturbance during sample recovery and preparation. Results could be improved with a further exclusion of the creep effect on PHTs.

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems exchange heat with the ground, often through a closed-loop, vertical, borehole heat exchanger (BHE). The performance of the BHE depends on the thermal properties of the ground formation, as well as soil or backfill in the borehole. The design and economic probability of GSHP systems need the thermal conductivity of geological structure and thermal resistance of BHE. Thermal response test (TRT) method allows the in-situ determination of the thermal conductivity (λ) of the ground formation in the vicinity of a BHE, as well as the effective thermal resistance (Rb) of this latter. Thermal properties measured in laboratory experiments do not comply with data of in-situ conditions. The present article describes the results of thermal properties of the BHE whose depth is 100m in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, China. As shown in these results, λ and Rb of borehole are determined as 1.84(W·m-1·K-1) and 0.121 (m·K·W-1) respectively.

This paper describes the errors in determining the permeability and porosity of Cenomanian gas deposits. First of all, the authors emphasize the importance of reproducing the reservoir conditions as close as possible in the process of core analysis. According to the authors, if the experimental conditions do not closely imitate the in-situ conditions, then the applicable conversation factors or functions should be used. Using this approach in constructing the petrophysical relation-ships and at other stages of reserves estimation will reduce the uncertainty in determination of the gas reserves value. It is also noticed in the article that a number of factors forming the value of error in reservoir parameters in the areas of wells is inevitable. To improve the quality level of the development design it is necessary to take into account a degree of reliability of initial geological and production data.

ABSTRACT 1. An indirect paperchromatographic method is described for separating urinary oestrogens; this consists of the following steps: acidic hydrolysis, extraction with ether, dissociation of phenol-fractions with partition between the solvents. Previous purification of phenol fraction with the aid of paperchromatography. The elution of oestrogen containing fractions is followed by acetylation. Oestrogen acetate is isolated by re-chromatography. The chromatogram was developed after hydrolysis of the oestrogens 'in situ' on the paper. The quantity of oestrogens was determined indirectly, by means of an iron-reaction, after the elution of the iron content of the oestrogen spot, which was developed by the Jellinek-reaction. 2. The method described above is satisfactory for determining urinary oestrogen, 17β-oestradiol and oestriol, but could include 16-epioestriol and other oestrogenic metabolites. 3. The sensitivity of the method is 1.3–1.6 μg/24 hours. 4. The quantitative and qualitative determination of urinary oestrogens with the above mentioned method was performed in 50 pregnant and 9 non pregnant women, and also in 2 patients with granulosa cell tumour.
