The preconsolidation pressure is an important parameter that determines the value of stress history exerted in the past on the subsoil in the geotechnical engineering. The Eemian gyttja is an organic soft soil from the ?Zoliborz channel? located in Warsaw. These soils are used as a base construction in the foundation engineering. The laboratory tests that can be used to determinate the preconsolidation pressure, mainly uses the relationship between the stress and void ratio or strain. In practical geotechnical eng...

Conveyor belt loop operates in a system comprising a series of belt segments and the splices between them. Splices are the weakest parts of a loop. Depending on the splicing technology, the splice?s strength, durability and reliability may vary significantly. Vulcanized splices offer the highest strength and durability. In the case of steel cord belts, such splices are practically the only technology available. In the case of textile belts, adhesive and mechanical splices may also be used. Although mechanical spli...
