For a wet sample, similar to the conditions in Thistle, the cohesive strength integrity is reduced to 15.9 MPa . These data show that when silty sandstone is saturated, the rocks are more susceptible to breaking, which is one way landslides can be triggered.

:Also, the size and number of bricks, as well as the width, hardness and cohesive strength ( ? ) of the coglomerate holding them together may affect your solution by small degrees . ~ U ) 00 : 49, 7 August 2010 ( UTC)

Precautions were taken after the 2005 slide to reduce the stress on the hillside, including the construction of a retaining wall to reduce the effects of the vertical stress ( sigma 1 ), and gravel drains to help remove water from the hillside to help rocks maintain cohesive strength.

Because of the cohesive strength and the relatively light weight of tile courses compared with stone, greater spans with a very low rise were possible, wrote Janet Parks and Alan G . Neumann in " The Old World Builds the New, " the catalog of a Guastavino exhibition at Columbia University in 1996.

In provincial towns and in other parts of the Roman Empire, where the material pozzolana was not procurable, the Romans had to trust to their mortar as a cementing medium, but this, though excellent of its kind, was not of sufficient cohesive strength to allow of the erection of vaults of more than about 40 ft . span, which were generally built in rubble masonry.
