Soil placed as engineering fill is compacted to a dense state to obtain satisfactory engineering properties such as, shear strength, compressibility, or permeability.
12.
The "'standard penetration test "'( SPT ) is an in-situ dynamic penetration test designed to provide information on the geotechnical engineering properties of soil.
13.
An architect or engineer might use the engineering properties of a soil to determine whether it is suitable for a certain type of construction.
14.
Scrambling is widely used in encrypting, as the intent is not to render the message unintelligible, but to give the transmitted data useful engineering properties.
15.
*" Ferritic " stainless steels generally have better engineering properties than austenitic grades, but have reduced corrosion resistance, because of the lower chromium and nickel content.
16.
This fundamental, normalization property of the stress-strain curves is found in many clays, and was refined into the empirical SHANSEP ( stress history and normalized soil engineering properties ) method ..
17.
Laboratory compaction tests provide the basis for determining the percent compaction and molding water content needed to achieve the required engineering properties, and for controlling construction to assure that the required compaction and water contents are achieved.
18.
Then follows a site investigation of soil, rock, fault distribution and bedrock properties on and below an area of interest to determine their engineering properties including how they will interact with, on or in a proposed construction.
19.
The engineering properties of soils are affected by four main factors : the predominant size of the mineral particles, the type of mineral particles, the grain size distribution, and the relative quantities of mineral, water and air present in the soil matrix.
20.
The "'Plasticity Index "'of a particular soil specimen is defined as the difference between the Liquid Limit and the Plastic Limit of the specimen; it is an indicator of how much water the soil particles in the specimen can absorb, and correlates with many engineering properties.
