2. Void ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_ratio

   where is the void ratio, is the porosity, V V is the volume of void-space (gases and liquids), V S is the volume of solids, and V T is the total (or bulk) volume. This figure is relevant in composites , in mining (particular with regard to the properties of tailings ), and in soil science .

3. Concrete leveling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_leveling

   In civil engineering, concrete leveling is a procedure that attempts to correct an uneven concrete surface by altering the foundation that the surface sits upon. It is a cheaper alternative to having replacement concrete poured and is commonly performed at small businesses and private homes as well as at factories, warehouses, airports and on roads, highways and other infrastructure.

4. Earthworks (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthworks_(engineering)

   In that case, earthwork software is principally used to calculate cut and fill volumes which are then used for producing material and time estimates. Most products offer additional functionality such as the ability to takeoff terrain elevation from plans (using contour lines and spot heights ); produce shaded cut and fill maps; produce cross ...

5. Ready-mix concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready-mix_concrete

   For a small to medium project, the cost and time of hiring mixing equipment, labour, plus purchase and storage for the ingredients of concrete, added to environmental concerns (cement dust is an airborne health hazard) [10] may simply be not worthwhile when compared to the cost of ready-mixed concrete, where the customer pays for what they use ...

6. Permeable paving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeable_paving

   Using permeable paving, however, can reduce the cost of providing larger or more stormwater BMPs on site, and these savings should be factored into any cost analysis. In addition, the off-site environmental impact costs of not reducing on-site stormwater volumes and pollution have historically been ignored or assigned to other groups (local ...

7. Land development - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_development

   This is done via a residual development appraisal or residual valuation. The residual appraisal calculates the sale value of the end product (the gross development value or GDV) and hypothetically deducts costs, including planning and construction costs, finance costs and developer's profit. The "residue", or leftover proportion, represents the ...

9. Floor area ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_area_ratio

   Floor Area ratio is sometimes called floor space ratio (FSR), floor space index (FSI), site ratio or plot ratio. The difference between FAR and FSI is that the first is a ratio, while the latter is an index. Index numbers are values expressed as a percentage of a single base figure. Thus an FAR of 1.5 is translated as an FSI of 150%.
