Procédé de consolidation des sols meubles et, plus particulièrement, des sols argileux

Selon ce procédé, on procède, dans une première étape, à une floculation des argiles en vue de les rendre perméables et on consolide, dans une seconde étape, le sol argileux floculé. Dans le cas des argiles basiques, on flocule par une solution aqueuse acide; dans le cas des argiles acides, on flocule par une solution aqueuse alcaline. Ce procédé trouve notamment une application dans le domaine des travaux routiers, dans la réalisation de chemins, pistes en sol durci, sols industriels.

Interchangeable Spring Pack for an Upper Die in a Lead Forming System

An improvement to a lead forming system that provides quick changeover without complete disassembly. By removing a pair of fasteners securing a pair of die inserts, a spring pack in an upper die unit can be freely rotated and interchanged or modified. The spring pack has a plurality of chamfers that allow the spring pack to rotate within the die pack until a narrower side is presented for removal. Straightforward access to the cutting units is afforded when the spring pack is removed. Risk of damage to various components of the lead forming system is minimized and the precision and accuracy of the new setup is increased because the system was minimally disassembled. A method for removing the spring pack in the upper die unit is fully disclosed. 1. A spring pack in an upper die unit of a lead forming system , comprising:a top member coupled to a bottom member, the bottom member having a center opening with a pressure plate conforming to the center opening, the top member, the bottom member and the pressure plate therein defining a spring pack exterior;a plurality of chamfers on the top member and the bottom member, the chamfers of the top member the mirror of the bottom member; anda plurality of springs between the top member and the pressure plate configured for allowing deflection of the pressure plate within the center opening of the bottom member.2. The spring pack as described in claim 1 , wherein the bottom member is coupled to the top member by a plurality of fasteners.3. The spring pack as described in claim 2 , wherein a pair of removable die top inserts secures the spring pack within an upper die unit of the lead forming system.4. The spring pack as described in claim 3 , wherein the pair of removable die top inserts cooperates with a front side of the bottom member and with a front side of the top member.5. The spring pack as described in claim 4 , wherein the top member has a cutout in a front portion of the top member claim 4 , the cutout configured for ...

Heat pump installed in roof of building - has large air entry receiving air from attic, preheated by solar radiation

The heat pump has an upper air entry between 5 and 15 times as large as the lower. The latter is connected by a line to a room in the house, in which it is installed. The whole unit can be installed in an attic and air from the attic is drawn into the larger air entry. This arrangement increases the capacity of the unit. This larger quantity of air receives heat from atmosphere, partic. from the sun on the roof, before entering the unit. Solar heating panels can also be installed on the roof to heat water in a fluid circuit. This heats the air passing through the upper, larger air entry.

Process for consolidating moving soils and more particularly clay soils

According to this process, in a first stage, clays are flocculated with a view to making them permeable and, in a second stage, the flocculated clay soil is consolidated. In the case of basic clays the flocculation is performed using an acid aqueous solution; in the case of acidic clays the flocculation is performed using an alkaline aqueous solution. This process finds an application especially in the field of roadbuilding, in the production of roads, hard carriageways and industrial soils.
