  2. Soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_mechanics

    The Plasticity Index of a particular soil specimen is defined as the difference between the Liquid Limit and the Plastic Limit of the specimen; it is an indicator of how much water the soil particles in the specimen can absorb, and correlates with many engineering properties like permeability, compressibility, shear strength and others ...

  3. Spectral leakage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_leakage

    In signal processing, operations are chosen to improve some aspect of quality of a signal by exploiting the differences between the signal and the corrupting influences. When the signal is a sinusoid corrupted by additive random noise, spectral analysis distributes the signal and noise components differently, often making it easier to detect ...

  4. Internal erosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_erosion

    Internal erosion is the formation of voids within a soil caused by the removal of material by seepage. [1] It is the second most common cause of failure in levees and one of the leading causes of failures in earth dams, [2] responsible for about half of embankment dam failures.

  5. Seep (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seep_(hydrology)

    Seep is often used in environmental sciences to define an exfiltration zone (seepage zone) where contaminated water, e.g., from waste dumps, leaves a waste system area. Seeps are often important smaller wildlife water sources, and indicated by lower riparian vegetation.

  6. Fugitive emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugitive_emission

    A detailed inventory of greenhouse gas emissions from upstream oil and gas activities in Canada for the year 2000 estimated that fugitive equipment leaks had a global warming potential equivalent to the release of 17 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide, or 12 percent of all greenhouse gases emitted by the sector, [9] while another report put fugitive emissions at 5.2% of world greenhouse ...

  7. Leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak

    Water leakage. Types of leak openings include a puncture, gash, rust or other corrosion hole, very tiny pinhole leak (possibly in imperfect welds), crack or microcrack, or inadequate sealing between components or parts joined together. When there is a puncture, the size and shape of the leak can often be seen, but in many other cases, the size ...

  8. Magnetic flux leakage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flux_leakage

    Magnetic flux leakage (TFI or Transverse Field Inspection technology) is a magnetic method of nondestructive testing to detect corrosion and pitting in steel structures, for instance: pipelines and storage tanks.

  9. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

    Water seepage can lead to mold growth, causing significant damage and air quality issues. Properly waterproofing foundation walls is required to prevent deterioration and seepage. Another specialized area of waterproofing is rooftop decks and balconies. Waterproofing systems have become quite sophisticated and are a very specialized area.
