Scuba Steve is trapped in an underwater cavern with a leaking oxygen tank. He has 90 seconds to swim 200 feet to the exit. He cannot swim fast enough at his normal speed of 2 feet per second. Luckily, he notices a strong underwater current 30 feet above him that flows directly toward the exit at 2 feet per second. Scuba Steve swims at an angle toward the current to utilize its speed and minimize his travel time. He calculates how far to swim in the current before continuing directly toward the exit.

Plasticity theory related to porous materials
This document discusses plasticity theory related to porous materials. It begins with an introduction to porous materials, defining them as solids with high specific surface area and pore volume. Porosity is measured using specific surface area, specific pore volume, and pore size/distribution. Particle size, shape, and distribution affect porosity, with smaller, irregularly-shaped particles allowing for reduced porosity. Pores are classified as open or closed. Elasticity and plasticity in materials is also introduced, with plasticity defined as the ability to deform without failure. Porous metal plasticity models are discussed, intended for metals with over 90% density, based on void nucleation and failure. The effect of porosity on material strength is analyzed
Design of multi-anchored_walls_for_deep (1)
The document discusses the design of multi-anchored walls for deep excavation support using numerical analysis with PLAXIS. It analyzes two case studies: 1) A drilled pile wall in Copenhagen with 3 anchor levels, comparing FEM results to Rankine theory. FEM showed higher earth pressures behind anchored zones than Rankine predicted. 2) A sheet pile wall in Stockholm with 5 anchor levels, parameterizing prestress loads. Results showed final anchor loads were similar regardless of initial prestress, but prestress affects wall bending moment and displacement. Optimal prestress reduces wall/soil movement while not overstressing anchors.
Real Time Monitoring Systems for Tunnels & Deep Excavation Projects
Presented in Malaysian Geotechnical Conference 16 March 2004 and a month later on 20 April 2004, there was the Nicoll Highway Collapse ! This system, if it had been used could have provided early warning to the site supervisors. The system was developed in 2001/2002 and had been used in many projects in Singapore.

The document describes a two-step finite element simulation of diamond-coated cutting tools. In the first step, a cohesive zone model is used to analyze residual stresses deposited during the coating process. In the second step, a 2D cutting simulation is performed using the residual stresses as initial conditions. The effects of fracture energy, interface strength, deposition temperature, and cutting parameters on coating delamination are investigated. The simulations demonstrate that residual stresses significantly impact coating failure during cutting, and failure is more likely with higher stresses, lower interface strength, or increased uncut chip thickness.
Interface cohesive elements for fracture modeling
This document discusses using zero-thickness interface elements to model cracks in finite element analysis. It introduces interface elements and cohesive crack models, describes how to formulate and implement them in finite element codes, and provides some examples of their use. Key aspects covered include discrete equations for interface elements, numerical integration techniques, cohesive laws, solution procedures like load control and energy control path following methods, and examples applying interface elements to material debonding and delamination problems.

Trenching & excavation
This document provides guidance on classifying soil and rock deposits for excavation safety. It defines terms like cohesive soil, granular soil, saturated soil and provides classification types from stable rock to type A, B and C in order of stability. Visual and manual tests are described to properly classify soil based on properties like compressive strength, ability to form balls or threads when moist, and tendency to crack or spall. Layered systems must be classified based on the weakest layer. Reclassification is needed if conditions change.
Modeling of Granular Mixing using Markov Chains and the Discrete Element Method
The document presents a method for modeling granular mixing using Markov chains and the discrete element method (DEM). It motivates the use of Markov chains to efficiently simulate granular mixing as an alternative to computationally expensive DEM simulations. The theory and definitions of Markov chains and operators are provided. The method is applied to simulate mixing in a cylindrical drum, and the effects of the number of states, time step, and learning time are investigated. Properties of the resulting operator like the invariant distribution and mixing rates are analyzed to characterize the mixing dynamics.
Braced cut in deep excavation
This document discusses different types of braced excavation systems used to support deep excavations, including soldier beams with lagging, sheet piles, and slurry trenches. It describes the design process for braced cuts, which involves analyzing stability, ground movements, and structural elements like sheet piles and struts. Methods for determining loads on structural elements using tributary area and equivalent beam approaches are presented. Factors affecting stability like heaving in soils are discussed. Design of structural components like struts, wales, and sheet piles is also covered.
Segmental Lining Design Presentation

Engineering rock mechanics volume1
This document provides an introduction to the principles of engineering rock mechanics. It discusses key topics in rock mechanics including stress, strain, intact rock properties, discontinuities, rock masses, permeability, anisotropy, inhomogeneity, testing techniques, rock mass classification systems, rock dynamics, interactions in rock mechanics, excavation principles, stabilization principles, surface excavation instability mechanisms, and design and analysis of surface excavations. The document is intended to serve as a textbook on rock mechanics for engineering students and professionals.
NGI-Excavation Hazards
This document discusses excavation hazards and how to control risks. Major risks of excavation include cave-ins, spoil soil collapse, striking underground utilities, and falls into the excavation. Proper protective systems like sloping, shielding and shoring can prevent cave-ins. A competent person must inspect excavations daily and address any safety issues. Other hazards to control are water accumulation, toxic atmospheres, traffic controls, and ensuring safe access and egress. Proper planning, permits, and protective measures are needed to conduct excavations safely.
Deep excavations
This document provides an overview of deep excavation techniques. It discusses earth retaining walls used to restrain soil during deep excavations. Common types of retaining walls include braced walls, sheet pile walls, pile walls, diaphragm walls, and reinforced concrete walls. Supporting elements like ground anchors and struts are also discussed. Specific techniques covered include contiguous piles, secant piles, sheet piles, and the vertical soldiers and horizontal lagging method.
Top down process
The top-down model of reading focuses on the reader's background knowledge and ability to make predictions about a text based on that knowledge. Readers use their existing knowledge to guide comprehension, relying on the text only to confirm or modify their predictions. It is a concept-driven approach where readers look at the overall meaning first before analyzing individual words or sentences. Exercises that activate readers' background knowledge, like pre-reading activities, help increase understanding by giving context and familiarizing readers with the topic before reading.
Top Down Construction Presentation.
The document discusses top-down construction, which is required when:
1) The distance between existing buildings and the new building line is small, requiring deep excavation and risking soil collapse.
2) It allows for more building and basement area, suitable for two or more basements.
3) The first basement slab acts as a strut, preventing soil collapse behind retaining walls.
The methodology involves:
1) Casting piles with dowels for retaining walls and slabs.
2) Excavating in stages and casting retaining wall panels with dowels between piles.
3) Pouring the first basement slab and then continuing excavation and construction from the bottom up
Top down construction
This document provides an overview of the top-down construction method. It explains that in top-down construction, basement concrete slabs are poured first and act as lateral bracing for perimeter walls as subsequent levels are excavated from the bottom up. Main advantages include savings in construction time. Diagrams show the excavation process with floors poured and braced as excavation progresses downwards. Careful planning is required to properly implement this new method in Ho Chi Minh City, especially for dewatering and handling different soil types at varying depths.
Deep excavation
The document summarizes different techniques for retaining deep excavations, including contiguous piles, secant piles, sheet piling, diaphragm walls, soldier piles with lagging, and presents case studies of their use. It discusses techniques such as contiguous piles with soil anchors used for the IT Tower Lahore project requiring excavation to a depth of 65 feet, and contiguous piling with 9 layers of anchors for the Alamgir Tower Lahore project requiring excavation to 85 feet. It also summarizes the use of slurry walls for the large Washington Convention Center project requiring excavation up to 55 feet deep.
Forum 06 12-16 - hydraulic fracture
Hydraulic fracturing simulations are important but challenging due to complex physical processes involved. Current industry practices make simplifying assumptions that limit accuracy. The document discusses three main alternatives for fracture modeling in finite element analysis: cohesive elements, extended finite element method (XFEM), and diffuse element damage theory. It also outlines development approaches using cohesive elements in Argentina and by SIMULIA, as well as benchmark models and the need for coupled reservoir-scale simulations.
Tunnelling methods
Tunnelling methods can be chosen based on geological conditions, tunnel size and length, experience, and cost considerations. Classical methods from the 19th century included the English, Austrian, German, Belgian, and Italian systems which used hand excavation and timber supports. Modern methods include mechanical drilling/cutting, tunnel boring machines (TBMs), the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM), immersed tunnels, and specialized methods. The tunnelling process typically involves probe drilling, grouting, excavation, supporting, muck removal, lining, drainage, and ventilation. Cut-and-cover can maintain surface traffic with reduced street widths or temporary bypasses, and uses concrete curtain walls for trench stability in urban areas.

Behind Their Eyes - making thinking visible is not enough
Walk into any classroom and watch the breakneck pace at which teachers are working hard to help students learn. Mind you, if we don’t uncover what students are thinking while learning, they may be running down the wrong path. OK, so we need ways to make student thinking visible. Seeing their thinking is important, but we also need to create the time and space for teachers to absorb, reflect, and act on what their students thinking reveals. This workshop shares strategies both for making student thinking visible and for creating time and space for teachers to meaningfully act on what they learn about what’s going on behind their eyes.
Leading Change v1
“If you really want to understand something, try changing it.” - Kurt Lewin
As the Director of Learning for a school division made up of 18 schools, my job is to help lead the largest change initiative ever undertaken in our school community. One of the most important, difficult, messy things any school leader does is lead change. While we can learn from the change leadership of others, copying their work most often leads to failure. Success is more likely to come from adapting others work to our own context. In this workshop I share the journey we’ve undertaken collectively in our schools; how we developed a shared vision, cultivated collaborative cultures, maintained a focus on deep learning, and wrestle with the nuances of accountability. Informed by the latest research on change management in education, we also model strategies for fostering deep learning conversations in your schools. We’ll engage in some deeper learning conversations together and take back a wealth of ideas you can adapt to your own context. Developing collaborative cultures is careful and precise work that has profound impact when carried out well. So how do you do that? Come, let’s learn together. Good people are important, but good cultures are moreso.
Providing Permission To Wonder v2.1
In a world where knowledge is more a verb than a noun how do we foster deep learning in our students? Good questions cause thinking. Unfortunately, many of the questions regularly asked in classrooms focus on knowledge as a noun. This presentation will explore inquiry as a pedagogical stance and the effective use of thinking and learning tools in the classroom. We will work together to model teaching practices that lead to students co-constructing a networked (real world) rather than hierarchical (artificial) understanding of their world regardless of grade level or discipline.
Participants will leave this workshop with a toolkit of research based questioning and thinking strategies they can begin using with their students tomorrow.
Things That Suck About Digital Citizenship v1
The document is a presentation about digital citizenship given by Darren Kuropatwa at the Building Learning Communities Conference in Boston, MA in July 2017. It discusses the importance of digital citizenship and responding to adversity with persistent kindness. It provides examples of digital citizenship issues and scenarios for discussion. It encourages participants to think about their own digital footprint and how to be good digital citizens.
Digital Storytelling for Deeper Learning v1
Presented at the Riding the Wave Conference in Gimli, Manitoba. May 2017.
In two words, you remember the whole story: glass slipper, sour grapes, cold porridge. You remember more than facts, you recall relationships & deeper connections between characters. Some of the powerful ways we leverage digital for deeper learning includes challenging sources of information (fake news), exploring bias (developing empathy through multiple perspectives), and creating powerful feedback loops that foster deeper learning.
Powerful narratives, in a word or two, bring to mind a wealth of ideas & relationships; more than just facts. How can we find stories that make our teaching sticky and help kids find, and more importantly tell, stories that make learning stick? This workshop will equip teachers with the skills & knowledge to foster deeper learning across the curriculum by intentionally leveraging digital tools to foster deeper learning.

We Learn Through Stories at PRIZMAH17
The document discusses storytelling and how it can be used as a tool for learning. It suggests that storytelling allows students to think in metaphors and learn through stories. It provides examples of how digital tools like QR codes and apps can be used to incorporate storytelling into the classroom. It also outlines some rules of thumb for using storytelling, such as personalizing tasks to students' experiences, collaborating on group projects, and getting feedback from both inside and outside the classroom.
Providing Permission to Wonder v3
In a world where knowledge is more a verb than a noun how do we foster deep learning in our students? Good questions cause thinking. Unfortunately, many of the questions regularly asked in classrooms focus on knowledge as a noun. This presentation will explore the effective use of thinking and learning tools in the classroom. We will work together to model teaching practices that lead to students co-constructing a networked (real world) rather than hierarchical (artificial) understanding of their world regardless of grade level or discipline.
Participants leave this workshop with a toolkit of research based questioning and thinking strategies they can begin using with their students tomorrow.
The Fourth Screen v4.1
This document contains multiple sections on topics related to technology and its impact on society, including how the internet allows information to be easily shared but also persist indefinitely, issues around online privacy and bullying, and ways for parents to support their children's safe and responsible internet use. The document advocates for empowering youth and promoting kindness both online and off.

Slides to support a master class at the Building Learning Communities Conference in Boston, MA. 18 July 2016.
How can we make learning sticky using powerful storytelling frameworks that tap into peoples' emotions? How do we involve all students in creating digital content that doesn't also create hours of content for teachers to assess? This interactive session will showcase Digital Storytelling activities teachers can use in class tomorrow! Document student learning & foster reflective ways for students to share their learning. 1st: we play! Then we'll discuss how to practically adapt these ideas, make them your own, and figure out what sort of infrastructure needs to be in place to support these kinds of powerful learning experiences. We’ll learn how to exercise your students' & your own creativity muscles and share simple strategies for collecting & publishing student work.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

- 1. Can Scuba Steve Escape the Underground Cavern?!? AKA more Optimization practice Comino Caves II by flickr user Michael Aston
- 2. Scuba Steve is on a pleasure dive in a large underwater cavern when his trusty companion Scuba Bev-Dog, a known mysophobic, spots a major leak in his tank. With a glance at Steve's PSI reading and some quick mental math, Scuba Bev-Dog calculates that Steve has only 90 seconds to reach the exit of the cave and the safety of air (a small hole 75 above him and 200 feet due East.) Since Scuba Steve can only swim 2 ft/sec, he realizes that he could never make it to the exit in time. Luckily Bev-Dog remembers that 30 ft above them lies a strong underwater current (with a negligible height) pushing exactly due East at 2 ft/sec. Realizing he could utilize this current to minimize his time and possibly save his life he immediately sets off towards the current 30 feet above him an an angle of 45 degrees from the bottom of the cavern. On the trip towards the current, Steve rapidly does some calculus to determine how long he should swim in the current to minimize his time. He finds his solution upon entering the current and sets off to beat the clock. 1. Give Scuba Steve's time of ascent function. 2. For what distance should Scuba Steve swim in the current in order to minimize his time? 3. Does Scuba Steve survive? 4. If so, by how many seconds did he succeed? 5. If not, by how many seconds did he fall short of survival?
