  2. List of referred Indian Standard Codes for civil engineers

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_referred_Indian...

    A large number of Indian Standard (IS) codes are available that are meant for virtually every aspect of civil engineering one can think of. During one's professional life one normally uses only a handful of them depending on the nature of work they are involved in. Civil engineers engaged in construction activities of large projects usually have to refer to a good number of IS codes as such ...

  6. Soil nailing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_nailing

    Soil nails were used to stabilize an 18 metres (59 ft) high slope consisting of sandy soil. This method proved to be more cost-effective, while at the same time cut down the construction time when compared to other conventional support methods. [4]: 23 Germany was the next country to investigate soil nailing.

  7. International roughness index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_roughness_index

    In the simulation, the simulated vehicle speed is 80 km/h (49.7 mi/h). The properties of the 'golden car' were selected in earlier research [12] to provide high correlation with the ride response of a wide range of automobiles that might be instrumented to measure a slope statistic (m/km). The damping in the IRI is higher than most vehicles, to ...

  8. Post-fire hillslope stabilization treatments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-fire_hillslope...

    The selection of hillslope stabilization treatments should consider three key elements: (i) the effectiveness of the treatment, (iii) the cost of production and transport, and (i) the values-at-risk to be protected [3] The most cost-effective treatment might not be adequate to protect critical values-at-risk whereas the treatment with the highest effectiveness and cost could not be suitable to ...

  9. List of IRC commands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IRC_commands

    This is a list of all Internet Relay Chat commands from RFC 1459, RFC 2812, and extensions added to major IRC daemons. Most IRC clients require commands to be preceded by a slash ("/"). Some commands are actually sent to IRC bots; these are treated by the IRC protocol as ordinary messages, not as /-commands.
