Abstract

The Water infiltration rate of a catchment area depends on a number of parameters. Each catchment area has its own peculiar infiltration features, depending on its climate and soil structure This research is a study and comparison of the banks of two permanent rivers of Bushehr Province (Iran), namely, the Mond and the Bahoosh, in the County of Tangestan. In order to determine and check the best penetration model and to calculate the infiltration coefficients of the Kostyakov-Lowese, SCS, and Philip models, the vertical water penetration rate of the soil was measured using field Double Ring tests (repeated for three times) in 60 test pits. Using computing software, the infiltration and aggregate infiltration rates’ curves were drawn and a Visual Basic software program was used for each model to specify the best coefficients, that is, those with the highest correlation with the curves. Results show that, for the Bahoosh riversides, the American SCS infiltration model has less errors than the Philip and Kostyakov-Lowese models, and for the Mond riversides, the Philip model is better than the Kostyakov-Lowese and American SCS models.

Abstract

Drilling and cutting stones as types of the engineering operations have encountered a lot of extensive and determining applications in different technical and engineering aspects of the mining. Estimating the drillability and cutability of stones by using drilling equipment and diamond wire saw have important roles in estimating the expenses and also designing mines. In this article some samples of carbonate ornamental stones from different mines in Iran have been studied in order to estimate and predict the drilling and also cutability rate.
In order to evaluate the effect of the textural specifications on the rate of drilling and cutability, first a picture was provided from the thin microscopic surface of every stone sample and then the area, perimeter, diameter the longest diagonal and the shortest diagonal of the grains in the sections were determined and the other textural specifications were also determined through using mathematical relations and equations. After that the relationship between the abovementioned parameters with the drilling and cutting rate were determined by using univariate fitting. And finally to achieve more correlation coefficient multivariate fitting was applied for the data. Among the textural specifications affecting the drilling rate textural coefficient, the diameter of the grain, dequi, the ratio of the grain condition and the index of grain size homogeneity had a significant relationship with the drillability rate and also among those affecting the cutting rate, textural coefficient, the diameter of the grain, dequi, density, shape factor, index of interlocking, and the index of grain size homogeneity had significant relationships with the cutting rate and at the end the final equation to predicate the drillability and cutability was produced for these parameters../files/site1/files/121/AleeiAbstract.pdf

Abstract

This research is a laboratory study to improve the geotechnical properties of fine-grained soils. For this purpose, agricultural waste ash such as sugarcane bagasse, rice husk and almond husk have been used. In this regard, the effect of using ash of the mentioned fibers with at 4, 8 and 12 weight percentages on fine grain clay soils has been investigated. The compaction test results indicate that these additives generally increase the optimum soil moisture and the maximum optimum moisture was observed for the samples made with 12% ash. Also, based on the results of the unconfined compressive strength test, the studied additives have increased the uniaxial strength of the soil. The samples made with 12% ash were the most effective, so that the addition of 12% bagasse ash increased the soil resistance by 117%, and the addition of 12% rice husk ash and almond husk ash increased the soil resistance by 89, 80% respectively.

Abstract

In the present study, productivity was determined as one of the most important evaluation criteria for the building stone to cut the different faces of travertine using the diamond wire cutting method. For this purpose, measurements were carried out in two zones named 8E and 8W in the northern region of Mahallat, Hajiabad travertine located in the Markazi Province. These zones were selected because of their greater similarity in terms of geological conditions, physical and mechanical properties of the stone, quarrying facilities, machinery and equipment. In order to achieve the objective, structural studies as joint study were first carried out as a joint study through field observations of fractures, drawing rose diagrams and analyzing them. Then, the productivity of electro deposited type diamond wire cutting was measured on seven blocks in two cutting panels of the 8E zone and 13 blocks in three cutting panels of the 8W zone over a period of 45 working days was measured. The results of the research indicate that the average productivities are 7.09 and 5.71 square meters per hour for the 8E and 8W zones, respectively and the overall average value for the 8E and 8W zones is 6.4 square meters per hour. Based on these results, although the average productivity level in these zones is acceptable, but well below the ideal level (18 square meters per hour). Therefore, the productivity in this area needs to be increased.
