Mechanical properties of loessial soils are the functions of their in-situ physical conditions, geological history, as well as actual load distribution at the site of interest. It is well known that the bearing capacity of loesses and loessial soils decreases with an increase in their porosity and water content. Physical and mechanical properties of soils can be determined by different laboratory and field methods. Technical and economic advantages and/or disadvantages of utilizing these methods are discussed. Field and laboratory test results are presented in tabulated form and analyzed. The paper describes the technique of plate load tests performed at three construction sites located near the city of Odessa (Soviet Union). Information obtained during the field tests was compared with results of soil tests carried out in the laboratory on hand-carved (undisturbed!) specimens.
Nuclear reactor coolant removal monitored by hydrogen measurements provided by Systech`s 542 programmable gas analyzers
NNC Limited is using Systech`s 542 programmable gas analyzers to monitor hydrogen off-gas in test rig for Dounreay Fast Breeder Reactor decommissioning.
Decommissioning nuclear reactors is not only a matter of dealing safely with the radioactivity issues, non-nuclear contamination can be equally difficult to remove safely and economically. NNC Limited is currently developing a...

The Use of Systech Illinois` Gaspace Headspace Gas Analysers in the Pre-Packed Meat IndustryOur Gaspace headspace gas analysers play a key role in quality assurance for Tulip International`s Modified Atmosphere Packaging of pre-packed meat.Tulip International`s cooked meats division is one of the largest producers of pre-packed bacon in the UK.Some of the output is vacuum packed, but the majority is packed in rigid, modified atmosphere packages because the product looks more attractive and is easier to display...
Did you know it will cost an estimated $1 trillion over the next 25 years to upgrade the nation’s water system to run more efficiently? While part of the problem is fragile, hundred-year-old water mains, it also falls on property owners to ensure they are doing their part to save water — for both the environment and their wallets. But how?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests “building owners and operators consider installing a water meter data management system with remote...
