   A USBR soil scientist advances a Giddings Probe direct push soil sampler.. Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions; this type of investigation is ...

4. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

   The result of a cone penetration test: resistance and friction on the left, friction ratio (%) on the right. The early applications of CPT mainly determined the logistics of soil geotechnical property of bearing capacity. The original cone penetrometers involved simple mechanical measurements of the total penetration resistance to pushing a ...

   Both the friction angle and cohesion can be considered for each slice. In the general case of the method of slices, the forces acting on a slice are shown in the figure below. The normal ( E r , E l {\displaystyle E_{r},E_{l}} ) and shear ( S r , S l {\displaystyle S_{r},S_{l}} ) forces between adjacent slices constrain each slice and make the ...

8. Sliding T bevel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_T_bevel

   T bevel with protractor and dividers In use. A sliding T bevel, also known as a bevel gauge or false square [1] is an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles. . Different from the square, which is fixed and can only set a 90° angle, the sliding T bevel can set any angle and transfer it on anoth

9. Forces on sails - Wikipedia
