  2. Rural Khmer house - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Khmer_house

    In earlier built, traditional houses these continuous elements run through the vertical piles, whereas in more modern houses joists consist of two elements running either side of the piles. The distance of the joists can not use for a long distance (From 2m to 3.75) for the Khmer house structure because it is easy to crack or bend while we use ...

  3. Tieback (geotechnical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tieback_(geotechnical)

    Typically in the form of a horizontal wire or rod, or a helical anchor, a tieback is commonly used along with other retaining systems (e.g. soldier piles, sheet piles, secant and tangent walls) to provide additional stability to cantilevered retaining walls. [1]

  4. Earth mover's distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_mover's_distance

    Informally, if the distributions are interpreted as two different ways of piling up earth (dirt) over D, the EMD captures the minimum cost of building the smaller pile using dirt taken from the larger, where cost is defined as the amount of dirt moved multiplied by the distance over which it is moved.

  5. Minimum distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_distance

    The term minimum distance may refer to Minimum distance estimation, a statistical method for fitting a model to data; Closest pair of points problem, the algorithmic problem of finding two points that have the minimum distance among a larger set of points; Euclidean distance, the minimum length of any curve between two points in the plane

  6. Closest pair of points problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closest_pair_of_points_problem

    The closest pair of points problem or closest pair problem is a problem of computational geometry: given points in metric space, find a pair of points with the smallest distance between them. The closest pair problem for points in the Euclidean plane [ 1 ] was among the first geometric problems that were treated at the origins of the systematic ...

  7. Setback (land use) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setback_(land_use)

    British Columbia uses a minimum setback of 4.5 metres (15 feet) of any building, mobile home, retaining wall, or other structure from all highway rights-of-way under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure unless the building has access from another street, in which case the allowed setback is 3 metres (10 feet).

  8. Wasserstein metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasserstein_metric

    Intuitively, if each distribution is viewed as a unit amount of earth (soil) piled on , the metric is the minimum "cost" of turning one pile into the other, which is assumed to be the amount of earth that needs to be moved times the mean distance it has to be moved.

  9. Distance of closest approach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_of_closest_approach

    Consider two ellipsoids, each with a given shape and orientation, whose centers are on a line with given direction. We wish to determine the distance between centers when the ellipsoids are in point contact externally. This distance of closest approach is a function of the shapes of the ellipsoids and their orientation.
