... by direct shear strength under various loads using a rheo-powder cell. We start by measuring the mechanical properties of settled and compacted barite, which are relatively similar in all samples. Then, compared with typical cement G, settled barite presents low stiffness and mechanical strength. Finally...

... review, the use of the new technology of suction piles in shallow water was decided upon. A Design Basis was developed to hold the unit on location in a 10-year hurricane event with the hull sitting on 100-psf shear strength soil. To meet this, four (4) self contained and self-installable/retractable...

.... Increases in bearing capacity and pull-out shear strength of between 100% and 400% were obtained, depending on the level of electrical treatment, for a San Francisco Bay silty clay in both freshwater and saline environments. Experiments performed on shallow clayey sediment samples from the Gulf of Mexico...

... . It uses time averaged values of penetration rate, rotation speed, and measurements while drilling (MWD) values of torque and weight-on-bit. The result of the interpretation is real time calculations of tooth wear, drilling efficiency, and the in situ shear strength of the rock. In a recent paper...
