The remolding toughness property of fine-grained soil has not been investigated that much, mainly because it has not lent easily to direct measurement, with soil toughness usually qualitatively described. In practical terms, as the plastic limit wP is ap...

An analysis of the discarded drill pipes that had been used in wedge grips has revealed that the main reason for pipe rejection is the reduction of a pipe wall as a result of plastic deformations, due to damaging the pipe surface by the die teeth. The lo...
