    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cant_(road_and_rail)

    For the United States, with a standard maximum unbalanced superelevation of 75 mm (3 in), the formula is this: v m a x = E a + 3 0.00066 d {\displaystyle v_{max}={\sqrt {\frac {E_{a}+3}{0.00066d}}}} where E a {\displaystyle E_{a}} is the superelevation in inches, d {\displaystyle d} is the curvature of the track in degrees per 100 feet, and v m ...

  3. Open channel spillway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_channel_spillway

    Discharge as a function of water surface elevation for NRCS and USBR formulas. For the NRCS computations, the mean velocity of approach was assumed to be zero. For the USBR computations, it was assumed that linear interpolation could be used to obtain C from H. For a given depth at the spillway crest, the flows calculated using the USBR method ...

    Calcium aluminates can form complex salts in combination with different types of anions.Two series of calcium aluminates are known in cement chemistry: AFm and AFt phases, being respectively mono- or tri-substituted with a given divalent anion X (e.g. SO 2− 4, CO 2− 3, or hosting a divalent impurity such as SeO 2− 4 [3]...), or with two units of a monovalent anion, e.g. OH −, Cl − ...

  5. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    If one looks at red numbers on the chart specifying grade, one can see the quirkiness of using the grade to specify slope; the numbers go from 0 for flat, to 100% at 45 degrees, to infinity as it approaches vertical. Slope may still be expressed when the horizontal run is not known: the rise can be divided by the hypotenuse (the slope length).

  6. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension. Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1]

  7. The Clitoris And The Body - The Huffington Post

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

    It is a combination of different materials or different shaped materials such as pipe and H-beams or steel and concrete. 'Pile jackets' encasing old concrete piles in a saltwater environment to prevent corrosion and consequential weakening of the piles when cracks allow saltwater to contact the internal steel reinforcement rods
