Experimental Study on the Strength Characteristics of Expansive Soils Improved by the MICP Method by Xuwen Tian, Hongbin Xiao, Zixiang Li, Zhenyu Li, Huanyu Su, Qianwen Ouyang

“…The stress-strain curves of expansive soil samples improved by the MICP method show a hyperbolic relationship, which is characterized by strain hardening. The hyperbolic model was chosen to describe the stress-strain relationship of the expansive soils improved by the MICP method, and the predicted results were in good agreement with the measured results. …”

Determination of the optimal horizontal boring mill for the repair of the pipe-rolling reduction-stretching mill’s body stands by O. N. Filonchik

“…Using a horizontal boring machine with a horizontal spindle performing rotational and translational movement of the axial feed, it is necessary to take into account the rigidity of the spindle, which affects the accuracy of processing, especially when restoring deep holes after surfacing with hardening surfacing materials. Bending the spindle can cause vibration and beating, which will affect the quality of the work performed. …”
