A limited initial study was made to evaluate liquefaction of creosote-treated southern pine wood sawdust with liquefaction of birch wood powder as a control. The objective was to assess the feasibility of using creo_.._. sot&treated southern pine wood as a raw material for the-formulation-of-phenol-basedresmadhesives-Them liquefaction was conducted in the presence of phenol with sulfuric acid a...

Grading characteristics, particle sizes, shapes and fines content are the factors contributing to liquefaction incidents besides major such as earthquake magnitude. Recent publications reports from of liquefied or potential soils show some evidence that size sand particles, grading characteristics will increase decrease resistance. However, date results still disputed need be expanded. Hence, a...

Ethanol production at Lantmännen Agroetanol AB in Norrköping began in December 2000. The objective of this master’s thesis is to find and optimize factors affecting the yield of the liquefaction, a part of the upstream process. To measure successfulness of liquefaction it is desired that amount of non-solubilized starch is quantified, and hence a method for determination of non-solubilized star...

Abstract This study evaluates the potentials of liquefaction caused by 2017 moment magnitude 5.4 earthquake in Pohang City, South Korea. We obtain shear wave velocity profiles measured suspension PS logging tests at five sites near epicenter. also perform downhole three sites. Among sites, surface manifestations (i.e., sand boils) were observed and not other two The maximum accelerations on gro...

Earthquakes generate multi-directional ground motions, two components in the horizontal direction and one in the vertical. Nevertheless, the effect of vertical motion on site response analysis has not been the object of extensive research. The 2010/2011 Canterbury sequence of seismic events in New Zealand is a prime example among other earlier field observations strongly corroborating that the ...

The epidermis layer waste (ELW) and the inner layer waste (ILW) were removed from Phyllostachys pubescens bamboo, and the anatomical characteristics and chemical components of these wastes were comparatively investigated. Both the ELW and ILW were subjected to a microwave-assisted liquefaction process to evaluate the relationship between bamboo properties and liquefaction behavior. The results ...
