Do you know what the formula is for design bearing pressure? We do! The design bearing pressure equals the ultimate bearing capacity divided by a suitable factor of safety. The ultimate bearing capacity is the loading intensity that causes failure, lateral displacement of foundation materials, and rapid settlement… We know ^this^ so you don’t have to! Pictured is one of our technicians performing a DCP Test. DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetration) testing is used to determine the strength of the subsurface and the design load of the soil. The engineers perform the testing in-situ to estimate the load-bearing capacity the soil can withstand by measuring the extent of penetration into the ground of a calibrated tip or cone. #EngineeringExcellence #SoilTesting #DCPTesting #GeotechnicalEngineering #FoundationDesign #ConstructionScience #LoadBearingCapacity #TeamTriad

The 3D vibrating wire crack meter from RST is an advanced tool that is utilized for monitoring and measuring cracks in structures or geotechnical elements. Its main purpose is to offer accurate and dependable information on the size and movement of cracks in three different directions - up and down, side to side, and back and forth. This enables a thorough examination of crack patterns and structural stability. To collect data, the meter is installed over the crack and firmly fastened to both sides. The sensor operates on the vibrating wire principle.

Have you considered the impact of #PressureThrust force? Pressure thrust force is the most influential force encountered in pressurised pipe systems. Ignoring or incorrect calculation of pressure thrust force can create a major impact on the pipe system or the surrounding hardware. Expansion Joints are designed to absorb pipe expansions and to 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 and movements. However, unrestrained Expansion Joints also transfer forces, important factors of which are the bellows spring rates and pressure thrust. 📌Pressure thrust force acts differently depending on whether the pipe system is anchored and guided or floating. If unrestrained Axial Expansion Joints are used. Pressure thrust force must be obtained at both ends of the #pipe system by fix points. If you would like to know more and read further, please download the Ultimate Guide for Expansion Joints here: https://bit.ly/3TO3fNr Combining years of experiences in design and manufacturing of Expansion Joints with use of advanced engineering techniques and recognized software, the Belman engineering team is able to create, analyze and verify Expansion Joint designs, no matter the application, project requirements or the location. #piping #pressure #knowledge #engineersmustknow

In this application note, we illustrate how a shielding technique using a tightly machined, channelized lid with form-in-place gasketing can be applied to mitigate the effects of fringing fields, optimizing coupler performance and minimizing unwanted effects on adjacent componentry. Two examples are given, one utilizing a high-power bidirectional coupler with core & wire construction and another built with stripline technology. https://hubs.ly/Q028xssv0 #RF #engineering #technology

Just Some Slope Stability Analysis Checklist: (i) Verify geometry and dimensions. (ii) Review input parameters (material properties, loads, etc.). (iii) Review boundary conditions and verify groundwater conditions. (iv) Confirm stability analysis method and critical slip surface search method. (v) Ensure software settings are correct (number of slices and convergence) #slopestability #geotechnical #engineering

This is one of my favorite white papers from Xylem that describes in detail pump cavitation. Understanding and diagnosing pump cavitation, in some cases, are not straightforward tasks and require a deeper understanding of how the pumping system works and how it was initially designed and installed. This level of understanding can include the pump design, operation, and the impact of cavitation damage on the impeller. A straightforward calculation of NPSHA and comparing it to the pump's NPSHR is not sufficient. I have used vibration analysis many times to diagnose pump cavitation. After inspecting the impeller and confirming the cavitation, I found that the calculated NPSHA was higher than the NPSHR by the required margin. However, the suction piping system was poorly designed, and the pump itself had a high Suction Specific Speed. In other cases, poor operation was the reason, or the pump was operating in parallel without consideration during the design phase of the region in which the pump would operate.
