Abstract: A method is taught for applying vacuum pulses to enhance multiphase vacuum extraction of vapours and liquids from contaminated subsurface wells. The method involves first initiating continuous multiphase vacuum extraction from the subsurface well. Then one or more short vacuum pulses are imparted to the subsurface environment, to momentarily interrupt flow of vapours and liquids in the subsurface well. Time is allowed for a vacuum to build up in the extraction apparatus; and then the vacuum build up is rapidly released to momentarily increase velocity of vapours and liquids being extracted from the subsurface well. A device is further taught for imparting vacuum pulses to enhance multiphase extraction from contaminated subsurface wells, comprising a vacuum pulse tool having an inlet in fluid communication with the subsurface well and an outlet and one or more multiphase extraction vacuum pumps, connected to the outlet of the vacuum pulse tool.

IPC: E04B1/41
Filed: 2009-10-29
Abstract: A shear lug is disclosed for transferring shear stresses from a structural element, such as a column in a framing element, down into the foundation supporting the framing element. The shear lug is not initially affixed to the structural element. The shear lug is instead affixed to anchor rods of an anchorage assembly, and is installed into the foundation with the anchorage assembly at the time the concrete foundation is poured. The structural element is subsequently affixed to the anchor rods, so that shear forces are transferred from the structural element, through the anchor rods and to the shear lugs, which effectively dissipate the shear forces to the foundation.
