  2. Standard penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_penetration_test

    Use of SPT data for direct prediction of liquefaction potential suffers from roughness of correlations and from the need to "normalize" SPT data to account for overburden pressure, sampling technique, and other factors. [4] Additionally, the method cannot collect accurate data for weak soil layers for several reasons:

  3. Pressure-correction method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-correction_method

    The pressure value that is attempted to compute, is such that when plugged into momentum equations a divergence-free velocity field results. The mass imbalance is often also used for control of the outer loop. The name of this class of methods stems from the fact that the correction of the velocity field is computed through the pressure-field.

  4. SIMPLE algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMPLE_algorithm

    Solve the pressure correction equation to produce cell values of the pressure correction. Update the pressure field: + = + ′ where urf is the under-relaxation factor for pressure. Update the boundary pressure corrections ′.

  5. Preconsolidation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preconsolidation_pressure

    Preconsolidation pressure is the maximum effective vertical overburden stress that a particular soil sample has sustained in the past. [1] This quantity is important in geotechnical engineering , particularly for finding the expected settlement of foundations and embankments.

  6. Overburden pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overburden_pressure

    Pressure is force magnitude applied over an area. Overburden pressure is a geology term that denotes the pressure caused by the weight of the overlying layers of material at a specific depth under the earth's surface. [1] Overburden pressure is also called lithostatic pressure, or vertical stress. [2]

  7. Cooling load temperature difference calculation method

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_load_temperature...

    The CLTD/CLF/SCL (cooling load temperature difference/cooling load factor/solar cooling load factor) cooling load calculation method was first introduced in the 1979 ASHRAE Cooling and Heating Load Manual (GRP-158) [1] The CLTD/CLF/SCL Method is regarded as a reasonably accurate approximation of the total heat gains through a building envelope ...

  8. List of abbreviations in oil and gas exploration and production

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_abbreviations_in...

    CITHP – closed-in tubing head pressure (tubing head pressure when the well is shut in) CIV – chemical injection valve; CK – choke (a restriction in a flowline or a system, usually referring to a production choke during a test or the choke in the well control system) CL – core log; CLG – core log and graph; CM – choke module

  9. Well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_control

    Well control is the technique used in oil and gas operations such as drilling, well workover and well completion for maintaining the hydrostatic pressure and formation pressure to prevent the influx of formation fluids into the wellbore.
