Investigation of Thermal Operational Regimes for Diamond Bit Drilling Operations (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This paper reviews existing studies and investigates thermal operational regimes of diamond bit during drilling operations. The operating temperature of the diamond core drill is studied under bench condition and an optimal thermal range are presented. Based on this study, it was noted that glazing of diamond tools is observed at temperatures less than 327°C, and normal wear of diamond tools is...

A Proposition for a Construction Research Taxonomy

Texts aimed at construction research students at all levels describe the organisation and undertaking of research work. These generally include a descriptive discussion of the works of such philosophers as Aristotle, Kant and Popper and relate this to theory building, theoretical frameworks, paradigms, etc. Reference is made to hypotheticodeductive methods, action research and grounded theory t...
