ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Heave and Heaving Pressure in Freezing Soils: A Unifying Theory
A unifying theory is presented for the process of heave in freezing soils. Out of the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) school of D.M. Anderson came the concept of the segregation potential . Out of the Cornell school of R.D. Miller came the model for the

Black shale heaving at Sainte-Foy, Quebec, Canada
Oxidation of pyrite and crystallization of sulphate minerals in rock fractures have locally produced ground heaving in excess of 10 cm in the foundations of a college at Sainte-Foy, near Québec (Quebec).

The quality of interaction with children in collective play: Children's agency
Abstract There is a growing body of studies on increasing the quality of infant–toddler education and care. Yet little attention has been directed towards how to bring toddlers' agency and perspective to their personally meaningful learning in collective play.

Frost heaving of foundation pit for seasonal permafrost areas
Frost heaving can cause support structures to crack and even instability of the foundation pit. This paper describes the frost heaving features of the steel pile pre-stressed tendon composite foundation pit support system (SPPTCFPSS). As a combined rigid–

Development of a constitutive model for a heaving clay from Rosebank
Bibliography: leaves 135-142.Heaving clays are partially saturated soils composed of a high fraction of the montmorillonite clay mineral. When exposed to free water they undergo volumetric expansion, which often results in differential movements at the ...

Research in the Relation between Frost-heaving of Forest Road and Conditions of Road Surface [PDF]
In order to research in the relation between frost-heaving of forest road and conditions of road surface, we set two experimental places, shade and sunny. And allocated six test sections in each place.

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Model Test of Salt−frost Heaving Limit Depth of Coarse-grained Sulphate Saline Soil
In order to perfect the salt expansion theory of coarse-grained saline soil and explore the influencing factors and mechanism of the salt−frost heaving force, 96 groups of coarse-grained sulphate saline soil samples are prepared artificially then indoor ...
