Tungsten carbide which is a hard and brittle material was ground by cast-iron bonded diamond wheel with ELID (Electrolytic In-Process Dressing) technique, for the purpose of getting high efficiency, super-precision machining. Three kinds of cast-iron bonded diamond wheels with different grain size were adopted to get different grinding efficiency and surface quality of workpieces. The grinding properties of cast-iron bonded grinding wheels with different grain size and the ground surface quality of tungsten carbide are discussed in this paper. The experiment results indicate that, under the same feeding amount, the grinding efficiency of the wheel with bigger grain size is higher, and it could make the dimension accuracy of the workpiece controllable, but the wheel with smaller grain size could get better ground surface quality. The two grinding phases are decided by the ratio between the size of abrasive grain and the thickness of the oxide layer on the grinding wheel.

Plain strain model tests were performed on beds of sands with different particle size distribution (Coarse, Medium and Fine) prepared at loose state (Relative density Dr. of 30%). A strip footing model with skirt was placed on the bed of sand and loaded vertically up to failure at different ratios of skirt depth to width D/B of (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, and 3). The applied stress increments and the corresponding settlements were measured. The improvement ratio due to different skirt depth and the behavior of bearing capacity parameters Nγ and Nq at each depth were evaluated and compared with some theoretical approaches. The test results revealed that the improvement ratio increased linearly up to D/B of 1.5 then reduced. Two factors were introduce into the general bearing capacity equation where used to evaluate bearing capacity of skirt footing, there values are about 1.6 for skirt ratio ranged between 0.5 to 1.5, and 1.25 for skirt ratio more than 1.5. Also, it is found that the Nγ parameter for D/B=0 were very close to Vesic proposal for fine and medium grain size distribution, while it’s close to Biarez proposal for coarse sand. The behavior of Nq parameter with different skirt ratio shows slight increase up to D/B of 1.5 then decrease with increasing D/B ratio for different grain size distribution. While the behavior of theoretical Nq parameter (depending on angle of internal friction values) shows a linear increase with skirt ratio for different grain size distribution.
