in the construction process of a plastic concrete cut-off wall, concreting is usually performed using the termie pipe method. in this method, concreting is performed from the lowest point in the excavated trench (containing the slurry) using a funnel and the pipe connected to it. the concrete poured in the funnel gradually settles in the panel through the termie pipe which is beneath the slurry...

A sodium silicate-based chemical grout was used in the Karkheh dam site in order to examine the performance of the chemical grouting technique for stabilization of the dam's filter material. Karkheh, an embankment dam with the reservoir capacity of about 7.4 billion cubic meter at the maximum water level, is the largest dam in Iran. The grouting works performed at the dam site, were part of the...

Flame stability inside a cylindrical micro-combustor was studied. Considering occurrence of heat recirculation, the respective relations were written and with parameters such as motion speed of reactants, flame propagation speed and thermal conductivity of the combustor’s wall, flame stability and its location inside micro-combustor were studied. It was found that for each thermal conductivity ...

in this study, the effect of wall orientation on the optimum insulation position in the wall from different perspectives is studied numerically. using crank- nicolson one dimensional transient heat conduction equation is solved for the wall with convection boundary conditions. outdoor temperature is considered as a periodic function of time. since natural night ventilation is used in the buildi...

abdominal wall hernia is common but reliable scientific data about its work relatedness is very limited and inconsistent. in this paper, a less common type of abdominal wall hernia in a 30 year old male worker is presented with recurrence after first surgery when he returned to work. in contrast with almost all kinds of hernia, a lifelong limitation for heavy lifting was recommended. it seems t...
