Sentence examples for soil overburden from inspiring English sources
Factors that affect SDI uniformity are emitter clogging, root intrusion, root pinching, mechanical and pest damage, soil overburden and compaction, soil hydraulic parameters, and, possibly, system age.
To address problem (1), rather than considering overburden in coal mining processes with a factor in the characterization scheme, a new elementary flow "soil, overburden" was defined.
Future updates of the database should, if possible, include these additions defining new elementary flows for abiotic unused extraction (e.g., "soil, overburden," "rock, tailings," "soil, excavated") and for plant species (e.g., "potato, at harvest").
The instruments are located in a steel and concrete vault benched into a gentle hillside and covered with soil overburden.
The effect of anchor embedment depth, soil non- homogeneity, soil overburden pressure and the soil/anchor interface breakaway conditions are studied to provide insight for drag anchor design.
The third mechanism identified in this study, which is a partially localized flow mechanism, is operative when the soil overburden ratio is not high enough to mobilize the full flow mechanism.

During the process of surface coal mining, vegetation cover is completely stripped, and soils and overburden (OB) rocks are removed to reach the coal-deposit, which generates huge volume of heterogeneous mass, stored as OB dumps (external dumps) or used as backfill materials to fill open cast voids (internal dumping).
Derived from Ito and Hu ([2011]), this study develops a two-dimensional model (by including lateral volume changes in calculating vertical deformations) that captures normal stress (overburden soil pressure) and soil suction (net atmospheric flux).
