Mining Slope

PT. Putera Bara Mitra used open mining system for mining operation, Yet the completion of study on the end wall slope stability that  undertaken by geotechnical PT. Putera Bara Mitra in Northwest Pit and the occured a failure in the low wall on the 1st June 2012 led to the need for analysis and design the overall slope at the mine site. To analyze and design the overall slope, used value of the recommended minimum safety. The value was based on company for single slope SF ≥ 1.2 and SF ≥ 1.3 for overall slope. The calculation used Bichop method with the help of software slide v 5.0. Geometry improvements was done at the low slopes that originally single wall with a 30 m bench height and a slope 70° with SF = 0.781, into 4 levels with SF = 1.305. The analysis explained the factors that affect the stability of the low wall included the mining slope geometry, unfavorable drainase system, material stockpiles and seismicity factors. It was necessary to do prevention efforts to maintain the stability of the slope included the redesign to slope geometry, handling surface and subsurface water in a way to control slopes draining groundwater, vegetation stabilization using and monitoring slope using Total Station with Prism and Crackmeter to determine the movement of cracks visible on the surface.

Unified Description

At sufficiently high operating speeds in lightly loaded journal bearings the basic laminar flow will be unstable. The instability leads to a new steady secondary motion of ring vortices around the cylinders with a regular periodicity in the axial direction and a strength that depends on the azimuthial position (Taylor vortices). Very recently published work on the basic flow and the stability of the basic flow between eccentric circular cylinders with the inner cylinder rotating is summarized so as to provide a unified description. A procedure for calculating the Taylor-vortex flow is developed, a comparison with observed properties of the flow field is made, and formulas for the load and torque are given.

Bridge System

When subjected to ambient daily temperature fluctuations, a 109.5 ft-long geosynthetic reinforced soil integrated bridge system (GRS-IBS) was observed to undergo cyclic straining of the superstructure. The upper and lower reaches of the superstructure experienced the highest and lowest strain fluctuation, respectively. These non-uniform strains impose not only axial loading of the superstructure but also bending. Pure axial loading in a horizontal superstructure will cause the footings to slide. However, bending in the superstructure will cause the footings to rotate thereby inducing cyclic fluctuations of the vertical pressure beneath the footing and also lateral pressure behind the end walls. Measured vertical footing pressure closest to the stream experienced the greatest daily pressure fluctuation (≈ 2,500–3,000 psf), while that nearest the end wall experienced the least. The toe pressure fluctuations seem rather large. That these large vertical pressure fluctuations are observed in a tropical climate like Hawaii when no other GRS-IBS in temperate regions has reported the same (or perhaps higher fluctuation) is indeed surprising. The larger these pressures are, the greater the likelihood of inducing cyclic-induced deformations of the GRS abutment. A finite element analysis of the same GRS-IBS was performed by applying an equivalent temperature and gradient to the superstructure over the coldest and hottest periods of a day to see if the field measured values of pressures are reasonable and verifiable, which indeed they were. This methodology is novel in the sense that the effects of axial load and bending of the superstructure are simulated using measured strains rather than measured temperatures.

Visual Observations

Critical speeds for the onset of Taylor vortices and for the later development of wavy vortices have been determined from torque measurements and visual observations on concentric cylinders of radius ratios R1/R2 = 0·894–0·954 for a range of values of the clearance c and length L: c/R1 = 0·0478–0·119 and L/c = 1–107. Effectively zero variation of the Taylor critical speed with annulus length was observed. The speed at the onset of wavy vortices was found to increase considerably as the annulus length was reduced and theoretical predictions are realistic only for L/c values exceeding say 40. The results were similar for all four clearance ratios examined. Preliminary measurements on eccentrically positioned cylinders with c/R1 = 0·119 showed corresponding effects.

The performance of the compressor blade is considerably influenced by secondary flow effects, like the cross flow on the end wall as well as corner flow separation between the wall and the blade. The present work is focused on the studying the effects of Vortex Generator (VG) on NASA Rotor 37 test case using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). VG helps in controlling the inception of the stall by generating vortices and energizes the low momentum boundary layer flow which enhances the rotor performance. Three design configuration namely, Counter-rotating, Co-rotating and Plow configuration VG are selected based on the improved aerodynamic performance discussed in reference [1]. These VG are located at 90% span and 42% chord on suction side surface of the blade. Among the three configurations, the first configuration has greater impact on the end wall cross flow and flow deflection which resulted in enhanced numerical stall margin of 5.4% from baseline. The reasons for this numerical stall margin improvement are discussed in detail.
