Commercialization Of A Small, Lightweight, Low-Cost Seismic Borehole Receiver, Rachel Adams
Commercialization Of A Small, Lightweight, Low-Cost Seismic Borehole Receiver, Rachel Adams
Theses and Dissertations--Civil Engineering
Herein, conceptualization of a recently patented seismic borehole receiver and its components is developed for commercialization. The device is significantly cheaper, lighter, and smaller than existing technologies on the market. Additionally, it has the potential to achieve better seismic readings than its competitors via patented sensor-to-borehole coupling mechanism. It is the hope that the commercialization of this device will not only provide a more affordable alternative to engineers and geophysicists in the existing market, but the significant cost difference may open new seismic measurement opportunities in the developing world. Its compact size and light weight will increase mobility, allowing investigators …
Geotechnical Statistical Evaluation Of Lahore Site Data And Deep Excavation Design, Aiza Malik
Geotechnical Statistical Evaluation Of Lahore Site Data And Deep Excavation Design, Aiza Malik
Civil and Environmental Engineering Master's Project Reports
Geotechnical characterization for foundation design is critical during preliminary planning, designing and feasibility studies of various engineering projects. In this research, an effort has been made to develop a geotechnical database for the city of Lahore, Pakistan. This database would aid geologists and engineers involved in the geotechnical design and planning of engineering projects in Lahore. The project area has been divided into zones geographically. Soil profiles have been developed for all zones, which provide ranges of soil properties and SPT-N values at regular intervals. Furthermore, the research also focuses on deep excavations in urban areas of Lahore, Pakistan and …
