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.
The test uses a thick-walled sampling tube, with an outside diameter of 5.01 cm (2 in) and an inside diameter of 3.5 cm (1.375 in), and a length of at least 60 cm (24 in). The sampling tube is driven into the ground at the bottom of a borehole by blows from a hammer with a mass of 63.5 kg (140 lb) falling a distance of 75 cm (30 in). The sample ...
Secant pile walls are constructed such that space is left between alternate 'female' piles for the subsequent construction of 'male' piles. [clarification needed] Construction of 'male' piles involves boring through the concrete in the 'female' piles hole in order to key 'male' piles between. The male pile is the one where steel reinforcement ...
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
the distance between the two lines is the distance between the two intersection points of these lines with the perpendicular line = /. This distance can be found by first solving the linear systems {= + = /, and {= + = /, to get the coordinates of the intersection points. The solutions to the linear systems are the points
[2] [1] They can be either drilled directly into a soldier pile, or through a wale installed between consecutive piles. Grouted tiebacks can be constructed as steel rods drilled through a concrete wall out into the soil or bedrock on the other side.
When bulk granular materials are poured onto a horizontal surface, a conical pile forms. The internal angle between the surface of the pile and the horizontal surface is known as the angle of repose and is related to the density, surface area and shapes of the particles, and the coefficient of friction of the material. Material with a low angle ...
The denominator of this expression is the distance between P 1 and P 2. The numerator is twice the area of the triangle with its vertices at the three points, (x 0,y 0), P 1 and P 2. See: Area of a triangle § Using coordinates.
