    Gravity flow through pipe

    And your question is? You will have entrance and exit losses through the value and fiction along the pipe. You can use this, along with anticipated flow, to find the most suitable valve.

    Is there anything like a Text Box in MS Project?

    If you want to have text/notes in the task area, add a column and choose 'Notes' as the data type.

    Construction Tolerances

    What is the road being used for?
  4. MarineConstruction

    Determining critical particle velocity for a nearby berth.

    How close to the structure? Typical limits here in Canada for blasting close to structures or in urban areas is 12.7mm/s (0.5 in/s). As dgillette stated, the peak particle velocity required to cause damage is significantly greater than this but provides a cushion for the blaster, especially...

    Mooring dolphin pile productivity

    Driven to a depth of 20m into the overburden or does that include the water column? What does the overburden consist of? Are they to be drive with a vibratory hammer or a diesel hammer or other? What is the refusal criteria? Regards.

    timber fender for berthing dolphins

    The determination of how much the fender can absorb would depend on the support conditions of the fender and the parameters of the timber being used. This is simple wood design. As for energy transfer, you would need to provide us with more parameters to try to help you. What is the approach...

    Books/lessons for excavating/sitework

    The above books are useful but ultimately you need to have an understanding of the work to be performed and how you would approach this work. Once you know how you will perform the work, go through and estimate the process. Equipment and labour rates are readily available, so the remaining is...

    Ocean wave forces due to high wind

    You will also want wind and wave data. If no wave data is available, you can use hindcasting. Regards.

    Boring Log, Discontinuities, question...

    If that is your concern, then typically it is high angled joints that will cause wedges to form and thus cause failure of the face. Based on the description, this doesn't appear to be the case. If you load your holes properly, it should break from hole to hole and cause minimal damage/back...

    Boring Log, Discontinuities, question...

    If you discuss it with the blasting firm, they should be knowledgeable in several different techniques that can be used to allow for smooth edge walls. One technique is to line drill the perimeter with appropriate spacing and light loadings to pre-split the rock. This will cause the rock to...

    Boring Log, Discontinuities, question...

    What exactly are you trying to gain from the logs?

    Points Loads to Distributed Loads

    Agree with BA. Easiest solution based on what you've provided.

    Wave runup analysis

    The 1984 Shore Protection Manual can be found here: Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3. Chapter 7 (Volume 2) should have the info you're looking for. Regards.
