Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
For one reason or another, things are starting to get really hectic now that Golden Week is over.
Machine maintenance is finally proceeding smoothly.
Starting today, I'm going to take apart the motor of the squeeze pump to find the source of the unusual noise.
It's because I've been swamped with desk work and I really need a change of pace lol
Lately, tinkering with machines has been a great way to take my mind off things, lol.
While I was checking the airflow,
I’d like to share an interesting finding from a research paper.
Cold Region Civil Engineering Research Institute
It's this paper on the website mentioned above.
Sprayed concrete designed to prevent the weathering of bedrock
Basic Research on Spray Application Properties
Even just reading the summary is educational.
The Japan Society of Civil Engineers
It's this paper on the website mentioned above.
A Study on Changes in Slump and Air Content of Shotcrete Before and After Pumping
It's really interesting when the things we do on a daily basis are recognized academically.
I suppose this is why civil engineering is often described as an empirical field.
(This means that standards are established by quantifying experience.)
Civil engineering really is a deep and complex field.
Engineers should be made more aware of papers, literature, and experimental data like this, and I hope we can publish them more and more, but,
After all, unless you do your own research and try things out for yourself,
It's really hard to remember, isn't it? (And I've been forgetting things a lot lately, too.)
It’s kind of pathetic that my brain tells me, “Let’s take it easy!” and I actually listen to it.
We'll provide you with even more information on slopes!
See you later.
