AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing the bearing capacity and settlement of skirted offshore raft foundations compared to those without skirts, specifically for a dissertation research project. The researcher seeks guidance on performing hand calculations for foundations with skirts, despite primarily using computer software for analysis. There is a lack of responses to the inquiry, indicating a need for more engagement or clarification in the post. The conversation highlights the importance of both computational and analytical methods in foundation analysis. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexities involved in evaluating skirted offshore foundations.

I am carrying out research for my dissertation and I am comparing the bearing capacity and settlement in an offshore raft foundation with and without an outer skirt. This will be done through computer software but I was wondering if anyone has any pointers on how to analyse a foundation with a skirt for hand written calculations, thanks

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
