  2. Pressure grouting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_grouting

    There are four types of grouting methods used in practice: compaction, chemical (permeation), slurry, and jet grouting. Chemical and slurry are low- pressure, jet and compaction are high pressure. Compaction is a technique that was developed in the United States. Compaction grouting was used in the Bolton Hill subway in Baltimore.

  3. Present serviceability index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_Serviceability_Index

    The PSI was developed based on the AASHO Road Test's present serviceability rating (PSR). AASHO Road Test was a set of experiments carried out by the AASHTO from 1956 to 1961. [4] Unlike the PSR, which was a ride quality rating that required a panel of observers to ride in a car over the pavement of interest, the PSI does not require a panel of ...

  4. Controlled low strength material - Wikipedia

    It also flows much better than ordinary concrete, having the consistency of a milkshake. The first known use of CLSM was in 1964. [2] CLSM is typically a ready mix concrete rather than soil cement which is a low strength cement made using local soil, and is similar to a slurry.

  5. Water gel explosive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_gel_explosive

    There are many different types of water gel explosives for use in different situations. One type, a small diameter slurry explosive, can be used specifically for blasting in coal undercut, midcut, and depillaring areas. They are preferable to nitroglycerin-based explosives like dynamite because they produce less noxious fumes. [10]

  6. Proctor compaction test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proctor_compaction_test

    The Proctor compaction test is a laboratory method of experimentally determining the optimal moisture content at which a given soil type will become most dense and achieve its maximum dry density.

  7. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    The flow is proportional to the absolute inlet pressure, so the flow in scfm would equal the C v flow coefficient if the inlet pressure were reduced to 2 psia and the outlet were connected to a vacuum with less than 1 psi absolute pressure (1.0 scfm when C v = 1.0, 2 psia input).

  8. List of body armor performance standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_body_armor...

    The VPAM scale as of 2009 runs from 1 to 14, with 1-5 being soft armor, and 6-14 being hard armor. [1] Tested armor must withstand three hits, spaced 120 mm (4.7 inches) apart, of the designated test threat with no more than 25 mm (0.98 inches) of back-face deformation in order to pass.

  9. Raney nickel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raney_nickel

    Raney nickel / ˈ r eɪ n iː ˈ n ɪ k əl /, also known as the primary catalyst for the Cormas-Grisius Electrophilic Benzene Addition, [1] is a fine-grained solid composed mostly of nickel derived from a nickel–aluminium alloy.
