Tunnelling Effects on Bored Piles in Clay
… in urban areas, owing to noise and vibrations, bored piling is becoming increasingly prevalent. As a result, the focus of this research has been the effect of tunnelling beneath bored piles in clay. Centrifuge modelling was used to investigate the effects of tunnelling on bored piles in clay. A …

Bored As Hell: Reading Boredom in Modern Literature
Broadly situated in Boredom Studies, this dissertation examines depictions of boredom in modern literature. It aims to understand boredom outside of scientific explanatory models, which often produce a list of causes and effects in a diagnostic language. I ask, what can literary depictions of …

A study of interaction effects due to bored tunnels in clay
As more and more tunnels are being bored in urban environments it is essential to understand the effects that this will have on adjacent structures, for example, the state of Singapore, which has been expanding its underground transit system extensively. The effects of tunneling twin tunnels in …

Numerical analysis of test pile data from instrumented large diameter bored piles formed in keuper marl (mercia mudstone)
A study of the behaviour of large diameter, bored, cast in-situ piles founded in Keuper marl (Mercia mudstone) is presented. The work is based on instrumented full-scale pile load tests carried out as part of the design of a major Highway communication project in Cardiff, U.K. This research also …

Blinded by Boredom: Examining the Effect of Boredom on the Ability to Anticipate Meaningful Experience
Boredom is a common human experience that can have surprisingly deleterious consequences. In a world brimming with opportunities for satisfying engagement, it seems unlikely that anyone would be able to remain bored for long. However, research suggests that people sometimes struggle to rid …

Modelling and control of articulated robotic arm
Humans tends to get bored when doing a repetitive task over and over again. Whenever human get bored doing something, their concentration level on doing the task will go down and the end result of the task will not be up to the standard. A robot that can imitate human movement could be introduce in …

Análise de esforços em estruturas aporticadas com fundações em estacas
… acting on bridge frames supported by piles or bored piles under the condition of horizontal loading. Theories on laterally loaded piles are discussed and an application of the stiffness method to the analysis of plane frames by means of digital computers is shown. ln the last Chapter a few …

The axial behaviour of piled foundations in liquefiable soil
… in the behaviour of nominally jacked or bored piles under seismic loading. The pile cap has been shown to play a substantial role in supporting axial loads during strong shaking. In cases where the pile cap was unable to support axial load, the majority of the axial loading was carried as …

A computer aided palaeoecological study of selected Red Crag (Lower Pleistocene) gastropods
… a new method of producing composite diagrams of bored bivalve populations and testing these distributions for randomness. This shows that the muricids drilled Astarte in random positions while Glycymeris was bored preferentially on the dorsal half of their valves. Naticids demonstrated great …

Ramble: To Wander & Wayfind in Image & Text
<p>A pedestrian, an international traveler, and a bored-out-of-his-mind bus commuter take note of their surroundings. What do they notice? What do they find? Why does it matter? With these questions in mind, I take three works as my traveling companions: Robert Weaver’s <em>A Pedestrian View: The …

Pressuremeter testing in miocene stiff clays
… self-boring and a simpler, non-boring mode (pre-bored or PBPM tests). The Miocene stiff clay was unique in that was sensitive and lacked of fissures and slickensides. The pressuremeter results could be compared to a range of other tests previously performed at the site. It is concluded that the …

Recognition of 3D compressed images and its traffic monitoring applications
… continuously transmit images. Operators are bored and fatigued from viewing cycled images on a few monitors. In this thesis, we present a smart camera network that reduces transmission load and provides operators with relevant images. A smart camera is capable of compressing and processing …
