The method described above forms the basis of the standard determination of the one-dimensional consolidation properties of soils for civil engineering purposes16. The diameter of the cell is not specified other than it should be at least 6 mm smaller than the soil samples available for testing, and the depth of the ring is... 

It is also prudent to restore only those characteristics that have been reduced. For example, if compressive strength has not been lost, there is little need to consider a gap-filling system that works primarily in compression. It is important, then, to begin the process of relating a consolidant property to a particular type of dysfunction.

Data collection as possibly required for a fill area, corresponds to a large extent with the data collection for borrow areas. However, the soil properties of interest will be different. Consolidation properties of the subsoil for example can be of great importance for the fill area, but are of less importance for the borrow area. Therefore the geotechnical laboratory test programme of the fill area will differ from the test programme of the borrow area. Table 3.2 provides an overview of typical required geotechnical data of the subsoil of the fill areas. Depending on the future use of the subject area, specific additional data may be of interest as well. 

The success of compression agglomeration depends on the effective utilization and transmission ofthe applied external force and on the ability of the material to form and maintain interparticle bonds during pressure compaction (or consolidation) and decompression. Both these aspects are controlled in turn by the geometiy of the confined space, the nature of the apphed loads and the physical properties of the particulate material and of the confining walls. (See the section on Powder Mechanics and Powder Compaction.)... 

In the sintering of such materials as silicon nindde, a silica-rich liquid phase is formed which remains in the sintered body as an intra-granular glass, but this phase, while leading to consolidation, can also lead to a deterioration in the high-temperature mechanical properties. 

All VGCF was graphitized prior to composite consolidation. Composites were molded in steel molds lined with fiberglass reinforced, non-porous Teflon release sheets. The finished composite panels were trimmed of resin flash and weighed to determine the fiber fraction. Thermal conductivity and thermal expansion measurements of the various polymer matrix composites are given in Table 6. Table 7 gives results from mechanical property measurements. 

In addition, detailed analysis of the chemical and physical properties of different oils used in the plant can, in some cases, allow consolidation or reduction of the number and types of lubricates required to maintain plant equipment. Elimination of unnecessary duplication can reduce required inventory levels and therefore maintenance costs. 

The ultimate goal of assemblies of nanoscale MBBs is to create nanostructures with improved properties and functionality heretofore unavailable to conventional materials and devices. As a result, one should be able to alter and engineer materials with desired properties. For example, ceramics and metals produced through controlled consolidation of their MBBs are shown to possess properties substantially improved and different from materials with coarse microstmctures. Such different and improved properties include greater hardness and higher yield strength in the case of metals and better ductility in the case of ceramic materials [102]. 

Poly(acrylic acid) and its salts have been known to have useful binding properties for some thirty years they have been used for soil consolidation (Lambe Michaels, 1954 Hopkins, 1955 Wilson Crisp, 1977) and as a flocculant (Woodberry, 1961). The most interesting of these applications is the in situ polymerization of calcium acrylate added to soil (de Mello, Hauser Lambe, 1953). But here we are concerned with cements formed from these polyacids. 

The mix proportions for concrete paving mixtures are determined by attaining optimum characteristics of the mix in both the plastic and hardened states. The designed mixture can be properly placed and consolidated, finished to the required texture and smoothness, and will have the desired properties necessary for pavement performance. Concrete paving mixtures should be... 

Hydraulic conductivity is one of the characteristic properties of a soil relating to water flow. The movement of water in soil depends on the soil structure, in particular its porosity and pore size distribution. A soil containing more void space usually has a higher permeability. Most consolidated bedrocks are low in permeability. However, rock fractures could create a path for water movement.
