DESIGN BUILDER CFDCFD has been around for some time as a tool for predicting airflow patterns and temperature distribution in and around buildings. However, it was considered a specialised and expensive application that could only be used by highly trained staff operating within specialist consultancies. Now all that has changed.DesignBuilder CFD offers true 3-D CFD capability tailoredspecifically towards the needs of the constructionindustry but at a fraction of the cost of the leadinggeneral purpose CFD codes, and with an easy-to-learnand easy-to-use interface.TypICAL CFD AppLICATIONS:>Assessing the effectiveness of heating, ventilation andair-conditioning design alternatives>Comfort analysis>Calculating age-of-air and air change effectiveness>Evaluating building design on local wind velocities>Assessing external pedestrian comfortLINkED ENERgypLUS CALCULATIONSA common problem facing designers when setting up CFD projects is the determination of boundary conditions such as internal surface temperatures or air flow rates through external openings. DesignBuilder CFD offersan easy solution to this problem by enabling the results of an Energyplus simulation to be automatically used to define the boundary conditions for a CFD analysis. EvALUATION OF HvAC DESIgN ALTERNATIvESThe design of HvAC systems requires more than simply making sure that mechanical heating or cooling systems offer sufficient capacity to offset spatial loads. It is equally important to determine that the delivery system is providing an adequate distribution of temperature and fresh air throughout the space. The illustration bottom right shows the application of DesignBuilder CFD to a conventional hot/cold aisle server centre HvAC design.vENTILATION EFFECTIvENESSpreventing stagnant regions within building spacesthat do not receive an adequate supply of fresh air isan important function of the design of a successful ventilation system. DesignBuilder CFD offers convenient tools to resolve these problems, including both age-of-air distribution and the calculation of air change effectiveness.THERmAL COmFORTAn accurate assessment of occupancy thermal comfort is essential for successful building design. Comfort can vary considerably from one side of a room to another depending on factors such as the location of supply diffusers, radiators, computer equipment, etc. DesignBuilder CFD offers a number of tools for effective distributed comfort analysis including:> Fanger pmv and ppD > Operative temperature > mean radiant temperatureANALySIS OF WIND EFFECTvarious aspects of building design can have a significant effect on local wind velocity and in some cases can result in unacceptable levels of pedestrian comfort. External wind analysis can be conducted with DesignBuilder CFD, which uses ASHRAE wind profiles to determine wind velocities at different heights above ground.EASE OF USESetting up a CFD project is really straightforward with DesignBuilder CFD because it uses the same geometric model as other DesignBuilder applications such asEnergyplus. Features such as automatic grid generation further simplify the process.SpECTACULAR pRESENTATION TOOLSThe wide range of tools provided for the graphical display of results can be used to create powerful and impressive presentations. CFD results can also be displayed within rendered images of the building model.Display tools include:> 3D velocity vectors> Linear and filled contours > 3D contoursAvAILABILITyDesignBuilder software is available in English, Spanish, French, german and Italian language versions through an international distribution network.For more information visit ENQUIRIESSoftware or training enquiries should be directed to sales@ or +44 (0) 1453 755500DesignBuilder Software Ltdpalace Chambers, 41 London Rd, Stroud gloucestershire gL5 2AJ United kingdom。
THE 2007 SAMREC CODE FOR REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS, MINERAL RESOURCES AND MINERAL RESERVESGLOSSARY OF TERMSThe terms set out below shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, apply in relation to this Code._ _ _ _ _ _FOREWORD1. The SOUTH AFRICAN CODE FOR THE REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS,MINERAL RESOURCES AND MINERAL RESERVES (the SAMREC Code or the Code) sets out minimum standards, recommendations and guidelines for Public Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in South Africa. It has been drawn up by the Working Group of the SSC Committee under the joint auspices of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) and the Geological Society of South Africa (GSSA). The SSC consists of representatives of the SAIMM, the GSSA, the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP), the Geostatistical Association of South Africa (GASA), the South African Council for Professional Land Surveyors and Technical Surveyors (PLATO), the Association of Law Societies of South Africa, the General Council of the Bar of South Africa, the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME), the JSE Limited (JSE), the Council for Geoscience, _ _ _ _ _ _the South African Council of Banks, the Minerals Bureau, the Chamber of Mines of South Africa (COM), and the University of the Witwatersrand.The first version of the SAMREC Code was issued in March 2000 and adopted by the JSE in their Listings Requirements later that same year. The Code has been adopted by the SAIMM, the GSSA, SACNASP, ESSA and PLATO, and is binding on members of these organisations.For background information and the history of the development of the Code please refer to the SAMREC Code, March 2000. This 2007 edition supersedes the first edition.Concurrently with the evolution of the SAMREC Code, the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (CRIRSCO), initially a committee of the Council of Mining and Metallurgical Institutions (CMMI), has, since 1994, been working to create a set of standard international definitions for the reporting of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.As a result of the CRIRSCO/CMMI initiative, considerable progress has been made towards widespread adoption of globally consistent reporting standards. These are embodied in similar Codes, guidelines and standards published and adopted by the relevant professional bodies around the world.The definitions in this edition of the SAMREC Code are either identical to, or not materially different from, those existing international definitions.INTRODUCTION2. The Code is applicable to the reporting of all styles of solid mineralisation or economic deposit.Certain commodities, namely Coal and Diamonds, have specific additional reporting requirements and these are dealt with from Clause 41 onwards. The Code does not apply to Oil, Gas or Water.In this second edition of the SAMREC Code, the Code is predominantly presented in normal typeface. Definitions are highlighted in bold text, and also form part of the Code. Guidelines are in italics and are placed after the respective Code clauses to provide assistance and guidance to readers when interpreting the Code.The SSC recognises that further reviews and revisions of the Code may be required. Additional information, rules, lists and best practice guidelines will be published on the SAMREC website from time to time, after due process has been followed.SCOPE3. The Code sets out a required minimum standard for the Public Reporting of Exploration Results,Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. References in the Code to Public Report or Public Reporting pertains to those reports detailing Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves prepared for the purpose of informing investors or potential investors and their advisers.Although the Code is a required minimum standard for Public Reporting, the SSC committee recommends its adoption as a minimum standard for other reporting.Public Reports are all reports prepared for the purpose of informing investors or potential investors and their advisers and include but are not limited to: company annual reports,quarterly reports and other reports included in JSE circulars, or as required by the Companies Act. The Code also applies to the following reports if they have been prepared for the purposes described in Clause 3: environmental statements; information memoranda; expert reports; technical papers; website postings; and public presentations.For companies issuing annual reports, or other summary reports, the inclusion of allmaterial information relating to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and MineralReserves is recommended. In cases where summary information is presented it shouldbe clearly stated that it is a summary, with a reference attached giving the location of theCode-compliant Public Reports or Public Reporting on which the summary is based.Companies and other entities are encouraged to provide information, which is ascomprehensive as possible, in their Public Reports.It is recognised that companies may be required to issue reports for more than oneregulatory jurisdiction, with differing compliance standards as contained in this Code. It isrecommended that such reports include a statement alerting the reader to this.Reference in the Code to …documentati on‟pertains to internal company documentsprepared as a basis for, or in support of, a Public Report.It is recognised that situations may arise where such supporting documentation,prepared by Competent Persons for internal company or similar non-public purposes,may not specifically be compliant with the Code. In such situations, it is recommendedthat the documentation includes a prominent statement to this effect.Users of the Code, and those compiling reports which comply with the Code, should beguided by its intent, which is to provide a minimum standard for Public Reporting, and toensure that such reporting contains all relevant information which investors and theirprofessional advisers would expect to find in the report, for the purpose of making areasoned and balanced judgement regarding the Exploration Results, Mineral Resourcesand Mineral Reserves being reported on.4. The Code takes into account issues of a global nature whilst addressing certain circumstancesunique to South Africa. The following principles should be considered in the application of the Code:Materiality: A Public Report contains all the relevant information which investors and their professional advisors would reasonably require, and expect to find, for the purpose of making a reasoned and balanced judgement regarding the Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves being reported on.Transparency: The reader of a Public Report must be provided with sufficient information, the presentation of which is clear and unambiguous, to understand the report and not be misled.Competency: The Public Report is based on work that is the responsibility of suitably qualified and experienced persons who are subject to an enforceable Professional Code of Ethics.The author of the Public Report should be satisfied that his work has not been undulyinfluenced by the organisation, company or person commissioning a report or any reportthat may be deemed a Public Report, that all assumptions are documented, and thatadequate disclosure is made of all material aspects that the informed reader mayrequire, to make a reasonable and balanced judgement thereof.5. The Code is applicable to all solid minerals for which Public Reporting of Exploration Results,Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves is required. Minerals are defined as any substance occurring naturally in or on the earth, in or under water or in tailings or dumps, and having been formed by or subjected to a geological process and includes sand, stone, rock, gravel, clay, soil and any mineral occurring in stockpiles or in residue deposits, but excludes water, oil and gas.6. Table 1 provides a list of the main criteria which should be considered and reported upon, ifrelevant, when reporting on Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.COMPETENCE AND RESPONSIBILITY7. Documentation detailing Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves fromwhich a Public Report is prepared, must be prepared by, or under the direction of, and signed bya Competent Person.8. A Public Report concerning a company’s Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and MineralReserves is the responsibility of the company acting through its Board of Directors. Any such report must be based on, and fairly reflect, the Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves report(s) and supporting documentation prepared by a Competent Person. A Public Report shall disclose the name of the Competent Person(s), his/her qualifications, professional affiliations and relevant experience. The Competent Person’s written approval is required for his contribution to the report.Where any specific documentation is referred to in a Public Report, the written approval of the author must be obtained as to the form, content and context in which that documentation is to be included in the Public Report.9. A ‘Competent Person’ is a person who is registered with SACNASP, ECSA or PLATO, or isa Member or Fellow of the SAIMM, the GSSA or a Recognised Overseas ProfessionalOrganisation (ROPO). A complete list of recognised organisations will be promulgated by the SSC from time to time. The Competent Person must comply with the provisions of the relevant promulgated Acts.10. A Competent Person must have a minimum of 5 (five) years experience relevant to the style ofmineralisation and type of deposit or class of deposit under consideration and to the activity which that person is undertaking. If the Competent Person is estimating or supervising the estimation of Mineral Resources, the relevant experience must be in the estimation, assessment and evaluation of Mineral Resources. If the Competent Person is estimating, or supervising the estimation of Mineral Reserves, the relevant experience must be in the estimation, assessment, evaluation and assessment of the economic extraction of Mineral Reserves. Persons being called upon to sign as a Competent Person must be clearly satisfied in their own minds that they are able to face their peers and demonstrate competence in the commodity, type of deposit and situation under consideration.The key qualifier in the definition of a Competent Person is the word …relevant‟.Determination of what constitutes relevant experience can be difficult and commonsense should be exercised. For example, in estimating vein gold mineralisation,experience in a high-nugget, vein-type mineralisation such as tin, uranium etc. willprobably be relevant, whereas experience in massive-type deposits may not be.Furthermore, a person, considered competent in evaluating and reporting on alluvial golddeposits, should have considerable experience in this type of mineralisation, because ofthe characteristics of gold in alluvial systems, the particle sizing of the host sediment,and the low grades being quantified. Experience with placer deposits containing mineralsother than gold may not necessarily provide relevant experience.The key word …relevant‟ could also mean that it is not always necessary for a person tohave five years experience in each and every type of deposit in order to act as aCompetent Person if that person has relevant experience in other deposit types. Forexample, a person with twenty years experience in Mineral Resource evaluation in avariety of metalliferous hard-rock deposit types may not require five years specificexperience in porphyry copper deposits in order to act as a Competent Person. Relevantexperience in the other deposit types would count towards the required experience inrelation to porphyry copper deposits.In addition to experience in the style of mineralisation, a Competent Person reportingMineral Resources should have sufficient knowledge of sampling and assayingtechniques relevant to the deposit under consideration and to be aware of problemswhich could affect the reliability of the data. Some appreciation of extraction andprocessing techniques applicable to that deposit type would also be important.It is important that the Lead Competent Person(s) accepting overall responsibility for aMineral Resource or Mineral Reserve report which has been prepared in whole or in partby others is satisfied that the work of the other contributors is acceptable and that theconstituent parts of the report have been signed off by such contributors.The Lead Competent Person undertaking Mineral Resource or Mineral Reservereporting should accept full responsibility for the report and should not treat theprocedure merely as a …rubber-stampi ng‟ exercise.Estimation of Mineral Resources may be a team effort (i.e. involving one person or ateam collecting the data and another person or team preparing the Mineral Resourceestimate). Estimation of Mineral Reserves is commonly a team effort involving a numberof technical disciplines. It is recommended that, where there is a clear division ofresponsibilities within a team, each person should accept responsibility for, his or herparticular contribution. For example, one person could accept responsibility for thecollection of Resource data, another for the Resource estimation process, another for themining study and the Lead Competent Person(s) acting as project leader(s) shouldaccept responsibility for the overall report.11. Complaints made in respect of the Public Report of a Competent Person will be dealt with underthe disciplinary procedures of SSC, or under the relevant ROPO agreement.REPORTING TERMINOLOGY12. Public Reports dealing with Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves mustuse one the terms Proved or Probable Mineral Reserves, Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources and Exploration Results as set out in Figure 1.Figure 1 sets out the framework for classifying tonnage and grade estimates so as to reflect different levels of geoscientific confidence and different degrees of technical and economic evaluation. Mineral Resources can be estimated on the basis of geoscientific information withsome input from other relevant disciplines. Mineral Reserves, which are modified Indicated and Measured Mineral Resources (shown within the dashed outline in Figure 1), require consideration of the Modifying Factors affecting extraction.Measured Mineral Resources may convert to either Proved Mineral Reserves, or may convert to Probable Mineral Reserves if there are uncertainties associated with modifying factors which are taken into account in the conversion from Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves. This relationship is demonstrated by the broken arrow in Figure 1. Although the trend of the broken arrow includes a vertical component, it does not, in this instance, imply a reduction in the level of geoscientific knowledge or confidence. In such a situation these modifying factors should be fully explained.The term ‘Modifying Factors’is defined to include mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental considerations.Figure 1 Relationship between Exploration Results, Mineral Resourcesand Mineral ReservesREPORTING GENERAL13. Public Reporting concerning a company’s Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and MineralReserves must include a description of the style and nature of mineralisation.14. A company must disclose relevant information concerning the status and characteristics of amineral deposit which could materially influence the economic value of that deposit, and promptly report any material changes in its Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.15. When reporting on commodity-specific requirements for Coal Resources and Coal Reserves, usemust be made of Clauses 41 to 53, which contain amendments and additions, and such will take precedence over all common clauses.16. When reporting on commodity-specific requirements for Diamond Resources and DiamondReserves, use must be made Clauses 54 to 62 which contain amendments and additions, and such will take precedence over all common clauses.17. Throughout the Code, where appropriate, ‘quality’ may be substituted for ‘grade’, ‘volum e’ maybe substituted for ‘tonnage’. In this Code any reference to the singular shall include a reference to the plural, where appropriate.REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS18. Exploration Results include data and information generated by exploration programmes that maybe of use to investors. The Exploration Results may or may not be part of a formal declaration of Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves.19. In Public Reports, that part of Exploration Results’ data and information relating to mineralisationnot classified as a Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve must be described as a deposit and must contain sufficient information to allow a considered and balanced judgement of the significance of the results. This must include all relevant exploration information, including the location of the deposit. Such reporting must not be presented so as to unreasonably imply that potentially economic mineralisation has been discovered.Reporting of selected information such as isolated assays, isolated drill holes, assays of panned concentrates or supergene enriched soils or surface samples, without placing them in perspective, is unacceptable.Where assay and analytical results are reported, this must be done using one of thefollowing methods, selected as the most appropriate by the Competent Person: by listingall results, along with sample intervals (or size, in the case of bulk samples), or byreporting weighted average grades of mineralised zones, indicating clearly how thegrades were calculated.Exploration information should include the interpretation of geological continuity,sampling results, locations etc. Table 1, at the end of this Code, is a checklist guidelinefor those preparing reports on Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and MineralReserves and should used as a reference. The checklist is not prescriptive and, asalways, relevance and materiality are overriding principles that determine whatinformation should be publicly reported.20. It is recognised that it is common practice for a company to comment on and discuss itsexploration in terms of target size and type. Any such information relating to exploration targets must not be expressed or misrepresented as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves. The term Resource(s) or Reserves(s) must not be used in this context. Any statement referring to potential quantity and grade of the target must be expressed as ranges and must include a detailed explanation of the basis for the statement, and a proximate statement that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.REPORTING OF MINERAL RESOURCES21. A ‘Mineral Resource’ is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest inor on the earth’s crust in such form, quality and quantity that there are reasonable and realistic prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, or estimated from specific geological evidence, sampling and knowledge interpreted from an appropriately constrained and portrayed geological model. Mineral Resources are subdivided, and must be so reported, in order of increasing confidence in respect of geoscientific evidence, into Inferred, Indicated or Measured categories.A deposit is a concentration [or occurrence] of material of possible economic interest inor on the earth’s crust, that may include mineralised material that cannot be estimated with sufficient confidence to be classified in the Inferred category. Portions of a deposit that do not have reasonable and realistic prospects for eventual economic extraction are not included in a Mineral Resource.For each category of Mineral Resource the basis of classification must be disclosed (refer to Table 1).The term Mineral Resource covers in situ mineralisation as well as dumps or tailings,which have been identified and estimated through exploration/assessment and samplingfrom which Mineral Reserves may be derived by the application of modifying factors.Any material assumptions made in determining the …reasonable and realistic prospectsfor eventual economic extracti on‟ should be clearly stated in the Public Report.The term …reasonable and realistic prospects for eventual economic extracti on‟ implies ajudgement (albeit preliminary) by the Competent Person(s) in respect of technical andeconomic factors likely to influence the prospect of economic extraction, including theapproximate mining parameters. In other words, a Mineral Resource is not an inventoryof all mineralisation drilled or sampled, regardless of cut-off grades, likely miningdimensions, location or continuity. It is a realistic inventory of mineralisation which, at thetime of reporting and under assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions,might become economically extractable.Portions of a mineral deposit that do not have reasonable and realistic prospects foreventual economic extraction must not be included in a Mineral Resource.Interpretation of the word …eventual‟in this context may vary depending on thecommodity, mineral involved or legal tenure. For example, for many coal, iron ore,bauxite and other bulk minerals or commodities, it may be reasonable to envisage…eventual economic extractio n‟ as covering time periods in excess of 50 years. Howeverfor other deposits, application of the concept would normally be restricted to perhaps 20to 30 years and frequently to much shorter periods of time.Certain reports (e.g. exploration reports to government and other similar reports notintended primarily for providing information for investment purposes) may require fulldisclosure of all mineralisation including some material that does not have reasonableand realistic prospects for eventual economic extraction. Estimates of these portions ofthe mineral deposit that do not qualify as Mineral Resources must not be described assuch.Any adjustment made to the data for the purpose of making the Mineral Resourceestimate, for example by cutting or factoring grades, or any other relevant assumptions,should be clearly stated and described in the Public Report.Where considered appropriate by the Competent Person(s) Mineral Resource estimatesmay include mineralisation below the selected cut-off grade to ensure that the MineralResource comprises bodies of mineralisation of adequate size and continuity to properlyconsider the most appropriate approach to mining, including any dilution orcontamination resulting from the requirements of any minimum mining width.Documentation of Mineral Resource estimates should clearly define any such inclusionsand Public Reports should include commentary on the matter if considered material.22. An ‘Inferred Mineral Resourc e’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which volume and/ortonnage, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a low level of confidence. It is inferred from geological evidence and sampling and assumed but not verified geologically and/or through analysis of grade continuity. It is based on information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that may be limited in scope or of uncertain quality and reliability.An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource.Where Inferred Mineral Resources are extrapolated beyond data points, the proportionextrapolated must be described and disclosed.This category is intended to cover situations where a mineral concentration oroccurrence has been identified and limited measurements and sampling completed, butwhere the data is insufficient to allow the geological and/or grade continuity to beconfidently interpreted. Due to the uncertainty which may be attached to some InferredMineral Resources, it cannot be assumed that all or part of an Inferred Mineral Resourcewill necessarily be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource as a resultof continued exploration.23. It is accepted that mine design and mine planning may include a proportion of Inferred MineralResources. If this category is considered in mine design, planning and/or economic studies, the results of which are publicly reported, full disclosure and the effect on the results of the studies must be stated. Inferred Mineral Resources may only be included in mine design, mine planning, and/or economic studies provided that there exists a mine plan and a statement of Mineral Reserves, which states that Inferred Mineral Resources have been used. Where a materialamount of mining in the mine plan includes Inferred Mineral Resources. a comparison of the results with and without these Inferred Mineral Resources must be shown, and the rationale behind their inclusion must be explained.Modifying factors and assumptions that were applied to the Indicated and Measured Mineral Resources to determine the Mineral Reserves must be equally applied to the Inferred Mineral Resources.Inferred Mineral Resources cannot be converted to Mineral Reserves, and must not be stated as part of the Mineral Reserve.24. An ‘Indicated Mineral Resource’is that part of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage,densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a reasonable level of confidence. It is based on exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. The locations are too widely or inappropriately spaced to confirm geological and/or grade continuity but are spaced closely enough for continuity to be assumed.The Indicated Mineral Resource has sufficient confidence for mine design, mine planning, and/or economic studies.An Indicated Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to aMeasured Mineral Resource, but has a higher level of confidence than that applying toan Inferred Mineral Resource.Confidence in the estimate is sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters and to enable an evaluation of economic viability.25. A ‘Measured Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage, densities,shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a high level of confidence. It is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. The locations are spaced closely enough to confirm geological and grade continuity.A Measured Mineral Resource has sufficient confidence for mine design, mine planning,production planning, and/or detailed economic studies.A Measured Mineral Resource requires that the nature, quality, amount and distributionof data are such as to leave no reasonable doubt in the opinion of the CompetentPerson(s), that the tonnage and grade of the mineralisation can be estimated to withinclose limits and that any variation within these limits would not materially affect potentialeconomic viability.This category requires a high level of confidence in, and understanding of, the geologyand the controls on mineralisation.26. The Competent Person(s) responsible for the Resource estimate must determine the appropriateMineral Resource category based upon the quantity, distribution and quality of data available and the level of confidence attached to the data with reference to Table 1. The method of determining these confidence levels must be disclosed. Resource classification guidelines are included in Table 1.。
架空层地面构造做法The construction of fictional underground structures involves a multitude of considerations and approaches. From the architectural design to the engineering techniques employed, every aspect must be meticulously planned and executed to ensure the safety, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of the structure. In this discussion, we will explore the various aspects of constructing a fictional underground layer, taking into account the structural design, materials used, ventilation systems, lighting, and accessibility.One of the key considerations in constructing afictional underground layer is the structural design. The design should take into account the purpose of the layer, whether it is a residential area, a research facility, or a secret hideout. The layout should be carefully planned to optimize the use of space and facilitate efficient movement within the layer. Additionally, the design should incorporate safety features such as reinforced walls,emergency exits, and fire suppression systems.When it comes to materials, the choice should be based on factors such as strength, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. Reinforced concrete is commonly used due to its strength and ability to withstand pressure. However, other materials such as steel, glass, and composite materials can also be employed depending on the specific requirements of the layer. It is important to strike a balance between functionality and aesthetics to create an inviting and visually appealing environment.Ventilation is another crucial aspect of constructing a fictional underground layer. Proper ventilation ensures a constant supply of fresh air, removes pollutants, and regulates temperature and humidity levels. Mechanical ventilation systems, such as air conditioning and air filtration units, can be installed to maintain a comfortable and healthy environment. Natural ventilation methods, such as the use of skylights and air shafts, can also be incorporated to reduce reliance on artificial systems.Lighting is essential to create a welcoming and functional underground space. Natural light can be introduced through the use of light wells, skylights, or reflective surfaces. Artificial lighting systems, such as LED lights, can be strategically placed to provide adequate illumination while minimizing energy consumption. Lighting fixtures should be chosen to complement the overall design aesthetic and enhance the ambiance of the space.Accessibility is a critical factor in designing an underground layer. Entrances and exits should be easily accessible and well-marked to ensure smooth movement in and out of the layer. Elevators, ramps, and staircases should be designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities and facilitate the transportation of heavy equipment or materials. Additionally, the layer should be equipped with appropriate security measures, such as surveillance cameras and access control systems, to ensure the safety and privacy of its occupants.In conclusion, constructing a fictional undergroundlayer requires careful consideration of various factors, including structural design, materials, ventilation systems, lighting, and accessibility. The design should optimize the use of space, incorporate safety features, and strike a balance between functionality and aesthetics. The choice of materials should be based on strength, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. Ventilation systems should ensure a constant supply of fresh air and regulate temperature and humidity levels. Lighting should becarefully planned to create a welcoming and functional environment. Lastly, accessibility should be prioritized to facilitate smooth movement and ensure the safety andcomfort of the layer's occupants.。

Regular inspections are crucial to identify potential hazards, ensure compliance with safety standards, and mitigate risks. This article outlines the routine inspection system and process for underground coal bunkers.Routine Inspection SystemInspection Frequency: Underground coal bunkers should be inspected at least once daily, with additional inspections conducted during periods of high activity or inclement weather.Inspection Team: The inspection team should consist of experienced mine inspectors, safety personnel, and technicalexperts. They should be familiar with the latest safety standards and procedures.Inspection Checklist: A comprehensive checklist should be used to ensure that all critical areas and components are inspected. This checklist should cover structural integrity, ventilation systems, fire safety measures, and any other relevant safety aspects.Inspection ProcessPre-Inspection Preparation: Before commencing the inspection, the team should gather all necessary equipment, including torches, gas detectors, and communication devices. They should also review the latest safety procedures and guidelines.Visual Inspection: The team should conduct a thorough visual inspection of the bunkers, noting any visible damage, leaks, or other irregularities. This includes checking for cracks, bulging, or any other structural deformities.Equipment Inspection: All safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, ventilation systems, and gas detectors, should be inspected to ensure they are in good working condition.Reporting and Follow-Up: Any issues or hazards identified during the inspection should be immediately reported to the mine management. Follow-up measures should be taken to address these issues promptly, ensuring the safety of personnel and operations.ConclusionThe routine inspection system and process for underground coal bunkers are critical in maintaining the safety of mining operations. By adhering to a strict inspection schedule, using a comprehensive checklist, and ensuring the prompt reporting and resolution of issues, mines can significantly reduce the risks associated with underground coal bunkers.中文版井下煤仓日常巡查制度及流程引言井下煤仓的安全对于确保采矿活动的顺畅进行至关重要。
会建造住所的动物英文版Animals That Construct DwellingsIn the animal kingdom, there are various species that exhibit remarkable abilities to construct their own dwellings. These structures serve as homes, nests, or shelters, providing protection and security for animals and their offspring. This article will explore some of the fascinating creatures that possess the skills to build their own habitats.1. BeaverBeavers are renowned for their impressive engineering skills. Using their strong jaws and sharp teeth, they fell trees and manipulate branches to construct intricate dams. These dams create deep ponds that serve as the beavers' homes. The ponds also serve as protection against predators, while the beavers' lodges provide a dry and safe living space.2. WeaverbirdWeaverbirds are small but mighty when it comes to constructing nests. They use grass, leaves, and even thin strips of bark to weave intricate and elaborate nests. These nests are often suspended from tree branches, providing protection from predators. The male weaverbirds take pride in their nest-building, as the quality and complexity of their nests play a crucial role in attracting potential mates.3. TermiteTermites are famous for their ability to construct elaborate mounds. These mounds can vary in size, ranging from small nests to toweringstructures reaching several meters in height.
