Sloping ground

It is better to use sloping ground to build the oven, and the surface of the ground must always be dry. Water and clay must be easily obtained near the place as the water is especially necessary to knead the clay. 

Plants that handle flammable liquids are usually designed to have slightly sloping ground or use drainage ditches or trenches to control runoff so that pools do not form. Drainage ditches and slopes should always direct flow away from sources of ignition. 

Plant strawberries in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. The ideal location is in full sun on high or sloping ground. Avoid frost-prone, low-lying areas. 

Very few lateral load tests results are available to the author. One lateral load test was carried out at a hill-site on a 1.2 m diameter caisson embedded on sloping ground. The applied lateral load of 80 ton caused a maximum 30 mm deflection. Back-analysis of the data indicate a relationship of = 15001V and A , =0.5. 

Heavy gas clouds tend to slump, flow down sloping ground, and spread in a radial direction because of gravity, even on flat ground. In contrast to a passive gas, the gas released may spread against the direction of the wind. Downwind from the source area, a dense gas... 

Check that when travelling on sloping ground the driver changes the radius to accommodate the moving of the load. 

The two standard methods suit the assessment of cyclic mobihty for level to slightly sloping ground. The extension to soil structure situations, where 2D (or even 3D) effects may be important requires further consideration—something that may well arise in hydraulic fills associated with new marine facilities. In that situation, finite element analysis to assess the imposed cyclic stress paths is important this analysis will likely need further substantiation by laboratory tests to assess the fill behaviour under specific load paths. In effect, the simpler 1-D methods have to be superseded. However, if the 1-D response has a sufficient margin of safety...

Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading commonly occurs in mildly sloping ground and is the most conmuMi form of liquefaction-induced ground failure. Conventionally, lateral spreads are driven by combined static shear stresses and seismically induced shear stresses exceeding the available shear resistance. Because the failure is largely driven by seismic shear stresses, down-slope displacements tend to accumulate in a...
