Definitions

  • a tool has been known for the manufacture of piles ( ⁇ , ⁇ , 4060994), which contains a pipe for the delivery of material, - 2 - Connectable to the pump.
  • the pipe is discharged to the casing to be pressurized with pressure, a solid material, forming the body of the pile, with a simultaneous removal of the pipe, if 5 are removed from the hole.
  • a disadvantageous tool is also to use it while it is necessary to make a pile, which is very expensive because it may be damaged if it is used. We need to carry out operations in order to protect the borehole.
  • VI is the energy of a single discharge at this depth at movement of the material delivery zone and excitation of charges of 15 times, J,
  • FIG. 1 Illustrates the process of making a pile, according to one of the variations of the invention, Fig. 2 - of the process of making
  • FIG. 3 is a first step in the manufacturing process of a fusion according to a third embodiment of the invention.
  • the total energy of discharges in this case they are quantitatively, is chosen so as to ensure the expansion of the lower part of the bore I to the required diameter of the uvea in its lower part. As a result, the foundation of the pile is produced.
  • the quantity of discharges at the next step increases by comparison with that due to a slower increase.
  • the value of the step ⁇ ⁇ is dependent on the predetermined order of changing the radius of the weld at its height and the required ": the result is the increase of the pile. It is
  • ⁇ > is the given radius of the pile
  • e is the permissible positive radius of the given radius of the pile.
  • ⁇ b ⁇ ' ⁇ * * "[(* - * ) * / .
  • 1 * ⁇ ⁇ "- the given radius of the pile ⁇ ⁇ for the previous ⁇ ⁇ - the next step is appropriate, with - the given angle of the knuckle svz ::. - 9 -
  • the method allows you to slightly reduce the volume of 10 piles produced without deterioration of the carrier system and due to this, the power supply is removed. , and for the supply of material 6, it will regulate so that it would be lost in borehole I at the expense of its mouth.
  • the factors ' and ' X define the empirical.
  • the factor ⁇ depends on the constant group ⁇ LORD ⁇ Div ⁇ the values of it lie in the range - 10 - ⁇ 0.2 to 0.7.
  • the coefficient ⁇ Depends on the type of the grout ⁇ increases with the increase in the density of the grout. For sand, the coefficient of% is equal to 0.00163, and for loam - 0.0021.
  • tool 2 (Fig. 2) is injected into the ground to a depth of 0.3 ... 0.5 m by any known method, for example, in tandem with a burdock
  • this tool 2 After this tool 2,
  • the 10th group of holes and the well drilling and shaping is done by spreading the “zero ground” group to the given radius of the pile. The result of this is that the unavailable manufacture of the pile in the load is a gain in material and temporary losses associated with the exclusion of the operation in the event of a collapse of the pile.
  • the instrument 2 (Fig. 3) is loaded with a similar method in the case that the device is not damaged in any way.
  • ⁇ - maximum size of the cross section of the Internet of the load on the scale of the handler- Frequency of discharges is chosen so that to save 15 times the required speed ⁇ $ of loading loads:
  • the speed ⁇ in the expression / 13 / has a size of m / h. 20
  • the piles shall be removed, as described above, but to the outside, there is a separate case for this. the step is shared
  • ⁇ ⁇ is the energy of one separate step at this step, J.
  • Club 3 for the delivery of the corresponding material and electrical outlet with electric units 10 and II, located in the same direction and separated in the direction of axiom.
  • Club 3 is made up of several sections that increase in depth and deepen the tool in
  • Element 10 which is the upper case:. in the form of a cone with a larger corner of inferiority, a generally top-down.
  • the performance of the lower elec- trode II makes it easier to load the instrument into the load, but it is not obligatory, nor can the elec- tric drive be made as a disk or
  • the leading section 13 is included in addition to the negative elec-
  • the outside of the electrical unit 10 is connected to the unit 3, the outlet of the outlet unit 17, the outlet of the unit 3 and the unit II is not less than the unit area of the unit
  • 35 Unit 3 is electrically connected to the screen adapter for cable 14, for connecting to the output terminal of the pulse circuit, and the input is connected to the In order to ensure that the efforts between the electric motors are 10 ⁇ II ⁇ and ⁇ - 15 - ⁇ yada ⁇ , ⁇ e na ⁇ ushzli zhes ⁇ s ⁇ i ⁇ e ⁇ le ⁇ iya ⁇ veduscheg ⁇ s ⁇ e ⁇ zhnya 13 iz ⁇ lyatsi ⁇ nn ⁇ m s ⁇ e ⁇ zhne 15 ⁇ veduschy s ⁇ e ⁇ zhen 13 imee ⁇ ⁇ ltsevye vys ⁇ u ⁇ y 18.
