Sentence examples for clay pile from inspiring English sources

Eric backed his pickup truck up to the clay pile.

Excess pore pressures developed in the clay layer, vertical and horizontal movements of the soft clay, pile displacements and bending moments, and abutment wall bending moments were chosen for comparison, since they are the most critical parameters for observation and design.

Then, over about two weeks, seven sculptors created clay renderings of the 3-D digital scans that "hand-etched her from a tiny pile of clay down to the tiny delineations of the sinew in the muscle," said Tess Roering, vice president for marketing at Athleta, which opened its first physical stores this year.

We passed a hillside littered with debris from a Japanese plane crash, foxholes and slit trenches preserved in the stubborn clay, little piles of unexploded ordnance, rusted helmets and half-decayed army boots.

Pile driving induces disturbance and alters the structure of the clay surrounding the pile, leading to development of excess pore water pressure as a result of soil disturbance.

The effect of the amount of clay surrounding the pile on the induced bending moment and lateral displacement along the depth of the pile was studied in Abaqus/Cae.

The interaction between the clay and the pile was modeled by defining tangential and normal contact behavior in the FE model.

The results from FE and FD analyses showed that the discrepancy in the magnitudes of the bending moment and lateral displacements from both analyses was reduced with the increase in the amount of clay surrounding the pile.

This habit of raiding graves caused the villagers of Komodo to move their graves from sandy to clay ground and pile rocks on top of them to deter the lizards.

The results indicated that increasing the amount of clay surrounding the piles reduces the induced bending moments and lateral displacements in the piles and hence increases its capacity to resist lateral loading.

This indicates that increasing the amount of clay surrounding the piles reduces the induced bending moments and lateral displacements in the piles and thus increases its capacity to resist lateral loading.
