At such a step and every 48 h, there must be a thorough clinical examination of the comeal edema, because it is certainly a cause of the noncicatrization of the cornea. A good illustration of this phenomenon is the image of a roof collapsing because it is supported by a too weak stmcture. The epithelial... [Pg.99]

Methane gas is found in pockets in the coal mines. The miners use a lamp for illumination and cut the coal seams using metal tools. Sometimes, the heat generated by this causes explosions in the mines. An explosion is always followed by the formation of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is extremely poisonous when inhaled even in small quantities. This gas often prevents rescue work. Sometimes the mines are flooded, sometimes the roofs collapse trapping the miners. Miners continuously inhale the fine coal dust. This results in lung diseases. [Pg.73]

Alternatively, the fluvial sediments of Level A may have accumulated when a roof collapse blocked water flow through the cave. It is notable that the bulk of the sediments occur upstream of a major area of collapse in the cave. [Pg.65]

The Cementation Co, which was already working on the ventilation shafts for the main area, was also contracted to drive two new inclined access shafts in the temporary districts. Construction of the perimeter walls was well in hand by the start of the new year, but as debris was removed from the north-west comer of K District a number of serious roof collapses occurred, so all further work was abandoned in that area, resulting in the loss of 20% of the planned storage capacity. A limited amount of steel-work was put in place to support the roof, but as K area was classified as only temporary storage extensive use was made of creosoted wooden props, over 520 of which were erected. By March heavy construction in K area was complete and the slope shaft lined with concrete. It was decided to leave the floor with a consolidated Bath... [Pg.199]

A considerable amount of work was carried out by the Ministry of Aircraft Production before it became apparent that, in the event of a bomb falling on the ground overhead, there would be a considerable risk of the roof collapsing. The project was accordingly abandoned. ... [Pg.281]

Tied Fire Wall Roof steel on other side of wall strong enough to resist forces of roof collapse on fire exposed side. Tied to a steel building frame on one side only. Totally independent of the structural frame on the other side of the wall. [Pg.91]

While it is technically feasible to mine limestone, for the vast majority of limestone deposits there are major concerns over the risk of the mine roof collapsing as a result of weaknesses caused by faulting, jointing and bedding of the limestone. [Pg.34]

Shit." Ralph glanced back at the burning building, just in time to see another section of roof collapse. "Landon " he datavised. "We ll need a full list of staff on the nighttime shift. How many there were. Where they live."... [Pg.58]

Swimming Pool Roof Collapse In 1985,12 people were killed when the concrete roof of a swimming pool collapsed after only 13 years of use. The roof was supported by stainless steel rods in tension, which failed because of SCC. There have been other incidents associated with the use of stainless steel in safety critical load bearing applications in the environment created by modern indoor swimming pools... [Pg.387]

Sandstone water inrushes into the mine along the roof collapse caused fissures electrical changes ahead is the foundation of electrical method early warning. [Pg.143]

The roof of working face is influenced by dead weight in deep mining, roof stability of working face is smaller than slide. The gravity adjustment coefficient (Q is considered effect factor of selfgravity of coal and rock mass to slide roof collapse... [Pg.1010]

As a result, hazards such as mine wall failure, roof collapse, and the release of gases such as methane (firedamp) as well as coal dust which can result in explosions are endemic to coal mines. Although most of these risks have been reduced in the past five decades, multiple fatality accidents still occur. [Pg.146]

Falls through the floor or roof surface (floor/roof collapses). [Pg.320]

A government-owned collieries company in India has 67 mines with around 100 000 miners. The roof of a mine collapsed killing ten miners. The mine was 15 years old and the accident occurred between 1.30 and 2 am. When workers in the third shift carried out a blast to break the coal, the roof collapsed. Two miners who remained alive were admitted to hospital. [Pg.489]

The first roof collapsed in an earthquake. The replacement is carefully pitched to achieve longevity and lightness. [Pg.44]

The harder thin layer then exhibits the patterned structures, whose size can be reduced while minimizing deformations. Another possibility is the use of a metal lamella covered with a thin structured PDMS ]17]. Because of the stiffness of the metal, roof collapse between the structures is reduced still, the metal is flexible enough to compensate macroscopic inhomogenities and to pattern curved surfaces ]11]. [Pg.59]

However, pCP also suffers from some drawbacks. First, the stability of the PDMS stamps is a major concern [25]. PDMS shrinks by about 1% after curing and it can be swelled by nonpolar solvents such as toluene and hexane [2]. The use of a soft polymer also produces some deformations on the stamp structures such as pairing, buckling or roof collapse during contact with the surfaces (Figure 4.3), which result in distorted patterns [13,26,27]. Biebuyck and co-workers [28] have experimentally demonstrated that if the aspect ratio of the structures (depth/width) is too large, the... [Pg.60]
