A novel displacement instrument that can be used to measure the density or modulus of an aggregate pier upon which a multistory building or parking garage can be built. The aggregate piers are often 35 feet or deeper. These aggravate piers are constructed by adding lifts of approximately 12 to 18 inches of aggregate at a time and tamping it into the pier forming hole. Each lift of aggregate is being tamped or struck by a force of approximately 15,000 psi or greater. The displacement instrument allows aggregate piers to be constructed having a density or modulus that is consistent from the bottom of the hole to the top of the hole. The displacement instrument would be mounted on the side plate of a hydraulic breaker that is mounted on the end of a boom of a crane. The displacement instrument need not be permanently installed on the side of the hydraulic breaker and it is freely removed and installed on another crane.

A load out and float off method for a spar type structure or another structure such as a deck. The invention enables the load out and float off of a large diameter spar using existing Heavy Lift Vessels (HLV's). A U-shaped tank (U-tank) is utilized to artificially extend the length of the HLV and provide supplemental buoyancy to help lift the spar off the land ways. The U-tank provides supplemental buoyancy and water plane area to float the spar off the HLV. After HLV departure the U-tank is moved and placed beneath an adapter frame on the spar's hard tank. The U-tank is ballasted upward to reduce the hard tank draft and have the strake tips clear the channel bottom. The spar can then be brought alongside the fabrication yard quay for additional work and then towed down the channel to the open sea.

Described is an infrastructure for recovering and storing energy received from wave motion of lakes or sea water basins, comprising a floating or fixed quay, jetty or pier (10) substantially consisting of a platform (11) in the lower part of which are fixed walls (12, 13, 14) equipped with openings (17) for the passage of the wave motion towards inner chambers (15, 16), wherein the inner chambers comprise units for recovering the energy from the wave motion, comprising floats (18) connected by kinematic means (19, 20) to at least one transmission shaft (22) in turn associated with a unit (24) which transforms the mechanical energy into directly usable or storable electricity, the kinematic means (19, 20) being capable of converting the sussultatory motion of the floats (18) into rotary motion of the shaft (22) allowing the recovery of electricity from the relative transformation unit (24).

The invention discloses a high-pile beam-slab assembled beam structure and a construction method thereof, relating to the field of port and wharf engineering, including assembled beams, prefabricated longitudinal beams, foundation piles, pile caps, vertical and horizontal nodes, sills, and laminated panels. The pile cap is set on the foundation pile, and the assembled beam is hoisted and installed on the pile cap. The assembled beam and the pile cap are fixedly connected through the sill, and the two sides of the assembled beam are fixedly connected with the prefabricated longitudinal beam through vertical and horizontal nodes, which also makes the The longitudinal beams form a continuous beam structure, and the laminated panels are laid on the upper part of the fabricated beams and prefabricated longitudinal beams. The invention provides a high-pile beam-slab assembled beam structure and a construction method thereof, which have strong load bearing capacity, less installation frequency, fast construction connection, short construction period, low cost, and are beneficial to environmental protection.

The invention discloses a supporting double-concave and single-convex interlocking water-stop pile. Including the pile body and the pile tip, the pile tip is provided with anchor reinforcement and structural reinforcement, the pile body includes the upper section pile, the middle section pile and the lower section pile, the pile top of the upper section pile is provided with pile cap and structural reinforcement, and the lower end of the upper section pile is provided with anchor reinforcement The upper end of the middle pile is provided with a threaded anchor hole, and the lower end of the middle pile is provided with an anchor bar; the upper end of the lower pile is provided with a threaded anchor hole, and the lower section of the lower pile is provided with a pile tip; Three sides are double concave and single convex. The beneficial effect of the present invention is: the supporting and interlocking water-stop pile adopts the long-line pedestal single-mode evenly distributed reinforcement, the overall tensile stress, the three sides of the supporting and interlocking water-stop pile are double-concave and single-convex, and spiral stirrups are distributed. It can be used for long-line table production, saving labor, labor, environmental protection, high productivity, good product quality, and helps the product to form a tall and straight shape, with good aesthetics and crack resistance. It is suitable for water stop of ports, docks and deep foundation pits, anti-corrosion, anti-freezing and thawing.

A near shore liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal includes an LNG storage unit, a jetty and a converted hydrocarbon carrier-vessel moored against the jetty. The carrier-vessel includes a hull, at least one hydrocarbon storage tank and is provided with a natural gas processing system for liquefying natural gas. Onshore produced natural gas is supplied through a first pipeline to the natural gas processing plant on the carrier-vessel and the LNG produced by the natural gas processing system is transferred from the carrier-vessel to the LNG storage unit via a second pipeline suitable for the transfer of cryogenic fluids.
