摘要： A system for measuring soil density includes a plurality of signal emitters paired with signal receivers situated within the soil and below grade (e.g. from 10 to 30 feet below grade). The emitters periodically emit the signal (e.g., ultrasonic signal), some of which is reflected back by the soil. If the soil is compact and close to the emitter/receiver, the reflected signal is received after a short delay and has high signal strength. If the soil is less compact or there is a gap between the soil and the emitter/receiver, the reflected signal is received after a greater delay and/or has lower signal strength. By making several measurements of the delay and signal strength, a baseline is established. Later, periodic measurements of the delay and signal strength are made. If the delay and/or signal strength measured differs from the baseline, the soil density has likely changed.

摘要： The combination of a flexible pipe, e.g. plastic, and a reinforcing member mounted around the pipe to strengthen the pipe and to enhance its ability to resist deformation under load. In one embodiment the reinforcing member includes a flexible perforated plastic netting containing an aggregation of lightweight elements such as expanded polystyrene beads capable of wrapping around the pipe, preferably in helical fashion along the length of the pipe. In another embodiment, a number of members are mounted on the pipe in longitudinally extending fashion. In all embodiments, the beads provide drainage around the pipe when it is placed in a trench and obviate the need for gravel normally used in conventional systems.

摘要： A method and apparatus for measuring bottom scour adjacent a foundation structure extending into the bottom of a stream of flowing water is disclosed. An elastic wave source is used for transmitting elastic waves through the water, the scour zone, and the bottom adjacent the foundation structure. The elastic waves are transmitted directly to an array of receivers and indirectly through the foundation structure to produce refracted signals that also travel to the receivers. The array of receivers are adapted for substantially vertical positioning such that a portion of the receivers will sense elastic waves that travel through the water above the scour, a portion will sense elastic waves that travel through the scour, and a portion will sense elastic waves that travel through the bottom adjacent the structure. Means are utilized for recording the time required for the elastic waves to reach each receiver to measure the depth of scour next to the foundation structure. The soil profile is deduced by using the known velocities of elastic waves in concrete, water, mud slurries, and soil, as appropriate to determine the amount of scour around the foundation structure.

摘要： An underwater casting-off device automatically releases when the retained payload impacts on the ocean bottom. The device has two vertical arms, pivoted together, which form at least one castingoff hook or eye. Displacement of the arms about the pivot opens or closes the hook or eye. A transverse member, weighted at one end and pivotally mounted to the top of one arm restrains the arms from opening while held at right angles to the arms. The equipment to be cast-off is automatically released when impact with the ocean floor causes the transverse member to incline downward, releasing the arms and opening the hook or eye. The device includes a means for attaching floats to the transverse member. Locking means are provided by a water soluble plug, as is an elastic mechanism to return arms to a locked position following the equipment release.
