Experimental Study on Single-excavation Compound Shock-reflection Blasting Technology of Protective Layer by MA Mengmeng, ZHENG Jiawei, DU Haoliang, ZHAO Zhenfu, LU Wenbo

“…Compared with the conventional cushion blasting hole method, the energy dissipation capacity at the hole bottom is increased by 20%, and the energy concentration between holes is increased by 18.5%, effectively mitigating the damage to the rock mass at the bottom. Under field test conditions, the excavation molding effect of the compound shock-reflection blasting technique is close to that of the traditional layered excavation method, but the construction speed can be increased by 3~4 times. …”

Characterization of Soil Properties and the Implications for Landslide Occurrence in Rubanda District. by Ainamaani, Samuel

“…And from the plasticity charts the PI and LL results reveals that the soils are clay of high plasticity and this signals chances of landslides Soil particle distribution The clay fraction for the soil were above 10% threshold identified from the analysis of the soil samples from the respective test pits as shown in the table below, this explains higher possibilities of extreme expansion potential and hence susceptible to land slides The bearing capacity of soil was determined as 250.825 kN/M3.When compared with the safe Safe/allowable bearing capacity of Soft rock 440kN/M3, the bearing capacity of soil is too low indicating high chance of collapsible soil.…”
