DOE Hoisting and Rigging Technical Advisory Committee
DOE Hoisting and Rigging Technical Advisory Committee June 17, 2015 Meeting Minutes 1. Welcome and Introductions (Larry McCabe) a. Started with a short discussion regarding previous day's Construction Safety Advisory Committee meeting as most people present had attended. Of particular interest to Larry, was feedback re having Mr. Matt Moury, EHSS Associate Under Secretary, provide remarks. The consensus was that his comments and perspective were both encouraging and helpful. b. Larry advised that he is available to provide onsite training of OSHA 30 and 10-hour Construction Safety course at no cost. Minimum class size is 10 and maximum is 25. 2. Discussion of H&R membership and charter revision/updating (Larry McCabe) - an example comment spreadsheet will be sent out for members to provide suggestions for revisions to include deletions and/or additions. ACTION: all committee members. Due July 10, 2015. 3. Update and revision discussion of the DOE-STD-1090-2011, “Hoisting and Rigging.” Change ASME PALD in the manual (Mike Hansen) a. Per the charter, DOE-STD-1090 isn't due for revision till 2016. However, there are several areas for change that were discussed. b. ASME P30.1-2014 Planning For The Use Of Cranes, Derricks, Hoists, Cableways, Aerial Devices, And Lifting Accessories - it was questioned whether this new standard conflicts with DOE-STD- 1090 or should be included. Mr. Tom Mackey, a member of the P30.1 Committee explained that P30.1 doesn't contradict or conflict with DOE-STD-1090 but provides guidance to companies that don't have -

A Case History with Combined Physical and Vacuum Preloading in Colombia
A Case History with Combined Physical and Vacuum Preloading in Colombia D.G. Yanez, F. Massad Abstract. The scope of this paper is the back analysis of soft soil treatment case studies in which prefabricated vertical drains together with physical and vacuum surcharge were applied. Initially, the vacuum surcharge systems in vertical drains used worldwide are reviewed. The radial consolidation theory specifically developed for vacuum and physical surcharges is presented, highlighting the influence of the vacuum efficiency parameter. This parameter represents whether or not there is a loss of vacuum pressure in depth. In the second moment, the local geological-geotechnical parameters of the construction are presented, from which data were used as case studies. This characterization was based on the study of regional geology, field geotechnical tests, the collection of undisturbed samples and further laboratory tests. Based on the specific consolidation theory and the geological-geotechnical characterization carried out, detailed analyzes are presented for 2 specific sites of the case study. The detailed analysis is composed of two steps of numerical modeling. The first step analyzes the vacuum loss in depth, as presented in the literature review and the second step is used to check the geotechnical parameters interpreted by the investigation campaign. At the end, comments and considerations are made about the vacuum consolidation theory and the soil characteristics in the case studies. Keywords: consolidation theories, sample quality, settlement back analysis, soft soil, vacuum surcharge. 1. Introduction 100 kPa next to sea level - a value that is lower in practice.

Traditionally soil gradation is performed by sieve analysis using a sample from the field. In this research, we are interested in the application of hyperspectral remote sensing to characterize soil gradation. The specific objective of this work is to explore the application of hyperspectral remote sensing to be used as an alternative to traditional soil gradation estimation. The advantage of such an approach is that it would provide the soil gradation without having to obtain a field sample. This work will examine five different soil types from the Keweenaw Research Center within a laboratory-controlled environment for testing. Our study demonstrates a correlation between hyperspectral data, the percent gravel and sand composition of the soil. Using this correlation, one can predict the percent gravel and sand within a soil and, in turn, calculate the remaining percent of fine particles. This information can be vital to help identify the soil type, soil strength, permeability/hydraulic conductivity, and other properties that are correlated to the gradation of the soil. -
Consideration of Ground Deformation Characteristics in Vacuum Consolidation Andapplication for Design
論文 Consideration of Ground Deformation Characteristics in Vacuum Consolidation and Application for Design * ** ** ** Loan T.K.DAM ・Isamu SANDANBATA ・Kouki MATSUMOTO ・Makoto KIMURA ABSTRACT: Experience from vacuum consolidation practice revealed discrepancy between actually measured and predicted settlement and strength increment obtained by conventional designs, which can be overestimated or underestimated depending on the depth involved. It addresses the necessity of proper consideration of ground deformation under this peculiar loading. By considering the change in lateral earth pressure condition associated with inward compression of the ground under application of vacuum load, effective stress increment in the soil at any treatment depth and their distribution are established, which indicates a variation of deformation characteristics along depth. Based on that, equations have been derived for approximately estimating the vacuum induced displacement and strength increment with appropriate deformation at the corresponding depth being taken into account. On the other hand, considering the influence of vacuum consolidation beyond the treatment boundary, an approximation method is proposed to evaluate the influence zone and predict the displacement at various distances within that zone. In this paper, applicability of the proposed approach and equations are examined using data from several actual vacuum consolidation cases. As a result, some modification for the input in proposed equations are suggested for a better agreement between -
