  2. Shell integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_integration

    The shell method goes as follows: Consider a volume in three dimensions obtained by rotating a cross-section in the xy-plane around the y-axis. Suppose the cross-section is defined by the graph of the positive function f(x) on the interval [a, b]. Then the formula for the volume will be:

  3. Shell balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Balance

    A fluid is flowing between and in contact with two horizontal surfaces of contact area A. A differential shell of height Δy is utilized (see diagram below). Diagram of the shell balance process in fluid mechanics. The top surface is moving at velocity U and the bottom surface is stationary. Density of fluid = ρ; Viscosity of fluid = μ

  4. Shell pavement design method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_pavement_design_method

    The Shell pavement design method was used in many countries for the design of new pavements made of asphalt. [1] First published in 1963, [2] it was the first mechanistic design method, providing a procedure that was no longer based on codification of historic experience but instead that permitted computation of strain levels at key positions in the pavement.

  5. Borehole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borehole

    A borehole is a narrow shaft bored in the ground, either vertically or horizontally. A borehole may be constructed for many different purposes, including the extraction of water (drilled water well and tube well), other liquids (such as petroleum), or gases (such as natural gas).

  6. Tunnel construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_construction

    Tunnel Construction. Tunnels are dug in types of materials varying from soft clay to hard rock. The method of tunnel construction depends on such factors as the ground conditions, the ground water conditions, the length and diameter of the tunnel drive, the depth of the tunnel, the logistics of supporting the tunnel excavation, the final use and shape of the tunnel and appropriate risk management.

  7. Casing (borehole) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casing_(borehole)

    Casing Diameters of a Borehole Casing Diagram premium gas tight connections on a casing string. Casing is a large diameter pipe that is assembled and inserted into a recently drilled section of a borehole. Similar to the bones of a spine protecting the spinal cord, casing is set inside the drilled borehole to protect and support the wellstream.

  8. Well drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_drilling

    Tricone rock bit. Well drilling is the process of drilling a hole in the ground for the extraction of a natural resource such as ground water, brine, natural gas, or petroleum, for the injection of a fluid from surface to a subsurface reservoir or for subsurface formations evaluation or monitoring.

  9. Underground pneumatic boring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_pneumatic_boring

    The first hole is dug on one side of the obstacle. This hole must be large enough to fit the tool and allow the operator to aim it. The hole also must be deep enough so that, as the tool compacts the ground, the surface remains undisturbed. The depth of the starting bore pit depends on the type of soil being worked in and how well it compacts.
