Increasing stirring rate significantly decreased the extent of disequilibrium and the time at which the CaCO₃ -fluoride-CO₂ system attained equilibrium due to the increased rate of transport of dissolved CO₂ to the CaCO₃ surface, and simultaneously the rate of transport of the dissolved CaCO₃ to the bulk solution. Optimal fluoride removal occurs at pCO₂ ~10-0.52 [30% (mol% CO₂)] with 96% of the initial 2,000 mg/L fluoride load removed in less than 80 min with a stirring rate of 300 revolutions per minute. Increasing pCO₂ to ~100 (100% CO₂) resulted in very little gain, less than 2%, in fluoride removal, or in the time required to reach equilibrium and therefore significant remediation cost savings can be obtained by using pCO₂ 30% when compared to 100%.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:28 AEDT ]]> Key relational contracting practices affecting performance of public construction projects in China https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18381 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:42 AEDT ]]> Hurricane risk assessment of power distribution poles considering impacts of a changing climate https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19332 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:14 AEDT ]]> Trench stability under bentonite pressure in purely cohesive clay https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18795 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:03 AEDT ]]> Spatial correlation of material properties and structural strength of masonry in horizontal bending https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29626 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:57 AEDT ]]> Analytical and numerical observations on the Hetényi solution for buckling of beams on elastic foundations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27298 Beams on Elastic Foundations, University of Michigan Press, Ann Arbor, MI].

The mobilized shear strength contribution of the helix decreased with the increase in helix position-to-helix diameter ratio (dh/Dh). Moreover, when dh/Dh ≥ 1.5, both central shaft and helix behaved independently, and their contribution in mobilized shear strength cannot be considered as a group. Regarding the effect of the helix position on the shaft pressure, when dh/Dh < 1.5, the ratio of screw pile to straight pile end-bearing capacity decreases almost linearly with the increase in dh/Dh. A modified equation is proposed that includes the two factors—helix position and shape (helix which differentiates screw pile shape from the straight pile)—to estimate the end-bearing capacity of the strong helix screw pile.]]> Fri 17 Nov 2023 12:01:35 AEDT ]]> Revisiting the Fundamental Concepts of SoilMechanics Using the General Effective Stress Conceptfor Saturated Geomaterials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53048 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:40:15 AEDT ]]> Biogeochemical clogging of permeable reactive barriers in acid-sulfate soil floodplain https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48454 Fri 17 Mar 2023 11:24:41 AEDT ]]> Simulating subgrade soil fluidization using LBM-DEM coupling https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39674 Fri 17 Jun 2022 15:32:11 AEST ]]> Ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing on ground reinforced by a trench https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28419 Fri 15 Oct 2021 10:59:24 AEDT ]]> Centrifuge model testing of Loess landslides induced by excavation in Northwest China https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38213 Fri 13 Aug 2021 14:03:42 AEST ]]> Mean parametric Monte Carlo study of fill slopes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34695 Fri 12 Apr 2019 14:07:25 AEST ]]>
