Blast Liquefaction Test of Saturated Sand Foundations Disposed by a Drainage Rigid Pile by Songtao Ni, Yumin Chen, Runze Chen, Hanlong Liu, Changchun Li, Shaobin Hu

“…The effect of ordinary rigid piles and drainage rigid piles on the disposal of saturated sand foundations was investigated by using carbon dioxide (CO2) fracturing to generate explosive vibratory loads. The test results showed that the blast vibration load increased the relative density of the site by approximately 10% and that the relative density was proportional to the burial depth. …”

Social Reality in Discourse of «Objectification Turn» by I. V. Katerny

“…This results in the "postsocial relations", that is social enaction of various kinds of objects, which leads to the fact that non-human, non-living and even non-physical objects are increasingly replacing humans as partners to communicate with and deeply mediating social relations, making the latter dependent on them. Thus, the explosion-like expansion of object-centered milieu in the human world consistently fuels the intellectual interest in the analysis of поп-subjective dimension of the social. …”
