This paper presents a numerical scheme for a solid–fluid coupled discrete-element method (DEM) that takes into consideration solid deformation and pore pressure generation and dissipation. Analytical solutions of conventional soil mechanics examples obtained by oedometer testing are used to...

Construction labor productivity (CLP) has a significant impact on the performance and profitability of construction projects. A construction project can benefit from improved labor productivity in many ways, such as a shorter project life cycle and lower project cost. However, budget and resource...

Role of Asphaltene in Stability of Water-in-oil Model Emulsions: The Effects of Oil Composition and Size of the Aggregates and Droplets
Download2021-03-16
Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions are the most common type of emulsions handled in petroleum processes. It is thought that the field emulsions are primarily stabilized by asphaltene-resin micelles and several research works have studied the stability mechanisms of asphaltene in crude emulsions....

Size DependencyIn this study, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of limestone rocks was estimated by indentation testing on small rock fragments. Here, the effects of rock fragment dimensions (particularly area and thickness) on indentation indices were studied. The investigation shows size...

Purpose – The research introduces means for improving premanufacturing processes (design, procurement and bidding) by leveraging digitalisation in offsite construction. Specifically, this paper proposes a framework that provides measures for the planning and implementation of digitalisation in...

Several sand control techniques have been used in SAGD wells in Western Canada. For most projects, slotted liners have been the sand control of choice for its economics, ease of use, and acceptable performance. Careful design of the slot geometry is crucial to maintaining...

Airport leakage is a phenomenon that occurs when air passengers choose to travel longer surface distances to take advantage of better air services at an out-of-region airport (which we term the “substitute” airport), instead of using their local airport as would be expected (Suzuki & Audino,...

The variables that characterize construction organizational competencies are both quantitative and qualitative in nature, and thus require measurement methods and modeling techniques that can handle both variable types. Models that are capable of relating organizational competencies to...

In this Paper, UCS of limestone rock was determined by indentation testing on rock fragments. The size of the fragments was in the range of 2 to 5 mm, which is within the size range of drill cuttings. Here, scatter of the data was investigated by calculating the coefficient of variation that...
