Hi,
I have come across a problem in a textbook that I need some assistance with.
The problem is reproduced below, and asks you to determine the power input for a crusher in a chemical process plant.
The part I don't understand is 'Step 3' of the calculation procedure: Compute the...
Has anyone encountered the issue of water buildup/ponding between rail tracks?
Refer to image below, where the area between the rail tracks is a flat surface and thus prone to water ponding (water shown in blue):
If so, how did you safely and quickly drain the water build-up?
I am doing a simple member design of a horizontally loaded steel post embedded in the ground. The ground conditions are assumed to be damp/sandy clay with a bearing capacity of up to 150 kPa.
This is an Australian situation so I am referring to AS/NZS 4746 - Structural design requirements for...
Suppose you have a typical coal mining process composed of the following steps:
(1) Excavation -> (2) Crushing -> (3) Storage -> (4) Rail -> (5) Power Station
The idea is the coal is excavated out of the ground, crushed and processed, stored, and finally transported by a diesel train to a...
Hi,
Are the Non destructive testing requirements for bridge cranes governed entirely by AS/NZS 5131 - STRUCTURAL STEELWORK
FABRICATION AND ERECTION?
This involves calculation of the Construction category of the structure as per Table 13.6 of AS/NZS 5131, and referring to S.13.6.1.2 for the...
Hi,
How would I find out the optimum height of an ash stockpile in order to minimize diesel haulage costs, for a CAT haul truck?
My stockpile height is to be between 25m to 50m.
I have worked out the fuel consumption and time taken from the start point to the haulage area, based on required...
