  2. Franki piling system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franki_Piling_System

    Small charges of concrete can be added while the base is being formed [6] to enlarge the base and improve the pile’s settlement performance. [3] Franki piles can be installed raked (or sloped) with a tilt of up to 4:1. [5] Raked Franki piles are always reinforced and are particularly suitable for structures subject to dynamic forces. [1]

  3. Bicycle performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_performance

    Bicycle performance is measurable performance such as energy efficiency that affect how effective a bicycle is. Bicycles are extraordinarily efficient machines; in terms of the amount of energy a person must expend to travel a given distance, cycling is calculated to be the most efficient self-powered means of transportation .

  4. Shaft-driven bicycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft-driven_bicycle

    A shaft-driven bicycle is a bicycle that uses a drive shaft instead of a chain to transmit power from the pedals to the wheel. Shaft drives were introduced in the 1880s, but were mostly supplanted by chain-driven bicycles due to the gear ranges possible with sprockets and derailleurs .

  5. Deep foundation - Wikipedia

    In cases such as these, a displacement pile (like Olivier piles) may provide the cost efficiency of an augercast pile and minimal environmental impact. In ground containing obstructions or cobbles and boulders, augercast piles are less suitable as refusal above the design pile tip elevation may be encountered.

    Simple, pointed head lugs on this bike boom road bicycle Elaborate hand-cut and filed head lugs which have been outlined in a contrasting colour (luglining) on a Hetchins frame Lugged steel frame construction is a method of building bicycle frames using steel tubing mated with socket-like sleeves, called lugs.

  7. Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle...

    Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics is the science of the motion of bicycles and motorcycles and their components, due to the forces acting on them. Dynamics falls under a branch of physics known as classical mechanics. Bike motions of interest include balancing, steering, braking, accelerating, suspension activation, and vibration. The study of ...
