Columns, layout

For the scaled-up column, suitable baffle plates are required to control axial mixing. For the final column layout the equipment vendor (Ghtsch Process Systems Inc.) should be consulted. 

The column layout, illustrated in figure 10.1, is modeled after a newspaper thus, it should be familiar to most readers. The column format is used by the vast majority of authors. Columns make it easier for multiple viewers, standing side by side, to read your poster at once. The title, authors, and affiliations go across the top of the poster and can be left-justihed (as shown in hgure 10.1) or centered. The sections of the poster begin in the upper-left corner. The viewer reads one column, reaches the bottom, and moves over to the top of the next column (to the right). The text itself moves the reader s attention down the column, making the flow easy to follow. The number of columns varies with the size of the poster, but three or four columns are typical.

Throughout the worked Examples in this book, I use a two- or three-column layout in which students learn a general procedme for solving problems of a particular type as they see this procedure applied to one or two worked Examples. In this format, the explanation of how to solve a problem is placed directly beside the actual steps in the solution of the problem. Many of you have said that you use a similar technique in lecture and office hours. Since students have specifically asked for coimections between Examples and end-of-chapter problems, I include a For More Practice feature at the end of each worked Example that lists the review examples and end-of-chapter problems that provide more opportunity to practice the skill(s) covered in the Example. 

The degree of use (or safety margin) of the system which is computed strongly depends on the soft soil parameters and can be controlled by varying the ring tensile stiffness modulus and strength of the geosynthetic encasement, the column radius, and the column layout pattern.
