Settlements, permanent

To underpin the foundation thereby stopping the excessive settlement permanently. [Pg.200]

Permanent British settlement in America begins. The colonists use firearms daily for hunting as well as in ongoing conflicts with Native Americans and French colonists. [Pg.97]

Permanent settlement was also a keystone of colonial health and veterinary policy in Tanganyika. See, in this context, Kirk Arden Hoppe, "Lords of the Flies British Sleeping Sickness Policies as Environmental Engineering in the Lake Victoria Region, 1900-1950," Working Papers in African Studies no. 203 (Boston Boston University African Studies Center, 1995). [Pg.405]

The natural balance of the environment has been seriously affected by man in many parts of the planet. However, there is universal consensus that the fate of Antarctica has to be different and that its natural resources, scientific values and beauty must be preserved. Although most inner zones of the Antarctic continent remain unexplored and have minimum human presence, the coastal zone has been thoroughly navigated, with permanent human settlements since the beginning of the twentieth century. The coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, in particular, has been one of the most extensively explored zones, attracting an important human presence. The closeness of the peninsula to South America, its less severe climate and its icefree accessibility in summer account for the numerous research stations and the commercial exploitation of the marine resources. The remnants of human activity such as abandoned stations, field dumps of fuel, rubbish dumps, etc., are still visible. [Pg.155]

Rutting in the form of Figure 15.12a usually occurs after a long period (years) and may be attributed to one or more of the following reasons permanent deformation of the asphalt layers, consolidation of pavement layers or settlement of the subgrade. The permanent... [Pg.648]

Vertical movement may develop either by permanent movement in the form of settlement (also known as faulting) or by dynamic movement caused by passing traffic usually associated with mud pumping. Evaluation of faulting may be carried out by using AASHTO R 36 (2013). [Pg.661]

Road bridges may be exposed to permanent actions, traffic loads, chmatic actions, differential settlements, water and earth pressures, earthquakes and accidental actions. In the submitted study permanent actions and traffic loads are considered only. Apparently, this consideration can hardly be accepted for certain types of bridges such as continuous box girder bridges where effects of temperature actions may be comparable to those due to traffic loads. [Pg.1316]

The Russian proposal was much criticised due to its emphasis on wide powers for Transdniestria, the insistence of the Russian Federation to link a constitutional setdement to the permanent demilitarisation of Moldova and the lack of express protection of the continued territorial unity of the state. Hence, a year later, in 2004, the OSCE, the Russian Federation and Ukraine offered a joint and formal recommendation for a settlement to the parties, which was somewhat different. In relation to the two sides, the proposal recognises their responsibility for the unification of the country , and would establish a federal state. Within the federation, which enjoys exclusive subjectivity in international law, there would exist special territorial federal units or federal subjects . The proposal adds ... [Pg.104]

Indirect actions may be either permanent Gi d (e.g. settlement of support) or variable Qi d (e.g. temperature) and are treated accordingly. [Pg.19]
