Sentence examples for the ground strength from inspiring English sources

Currently, geosynthetic reinforcements for slopes are calculated assuming the ground strength to be purely frictional, i.e. without any cohesion.

These findings suggest that under surface loading, in addition to the ground strength, tunnel stability in saturated ground is largely influenced by liner permeability and the long-term H-M response of the ground.

However, judging by the excursion of the EEJ ground strength for the same time period we can certify that there was no CEJ event taking place at that moment.

Finally, the diurnal variation of the EEJ ground strength is estimated by taking the difference between the ΔH values at a station at the dip equator (ΔH SLZ) and the ΔH values at a station near the dip equator but outside the influence of the EEJ ΔH VSSS).

Also, the EEJ ground strength for the same time period is placed in the bottom panel of the same figure, identified as ΔH SLZ − ΔH VSS (red line).

Finally, the variation of the EEJ ground strength (Δ HSLZ − Δ HVSS) is estimated by taking the difference between the ΔH values at a station at the dip equator (ΔHSLZ) and that at a station nearby the dip equator, but outside the EEJ influence (ΔHVSS).

Therefore, we looked for the influence of the dynamics of the E region on the formation of the Esc layer through investigation of the EEJ ground strength as an indirect measurement of the E region electric field strength, that is a measurement of the Sq system, which in turn is driven by the atmospheric neutral wind.

The support load increases greatly when the inherent ground strength is much reduced by allowing excessive yield to loosen the rock mass.

Fig. 3 Diurnal variation of the fbEs (upper) and of the EEJ ground strength (below) on December 15 (red lines).

Hence, a downward polarization electric field caused by the wind shear should be responsible for inverting the normal upward electric field in a constraint height range, contributing to the observed drastic reduction of the EEJ ground strength.

Denardini et al. (2009) have recently studied features of CEJ events in the Brazilian sector from the difference between ΔH at Sao Luis (equatorial) and Eusebio (away from the equator), with ΔH normalized from the mean midnight value of 5 quiet days of the month, and named this the electrojet ground strength.
