  2. Hydrophobic concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobic_concrete

    The coating is applied between 1.25-1.5 lb per square yard and continues until the whole surface is covered. If the surface requires another coat, it must be applied within forty eight hours of the initial application of the hydrophobic mixture. Once applied, the concrete must cure in a moist environment two to three hours after the application.

  3. Soil cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_cement

    Soil cement mixtures differs from Portland cement concrete in the amount of paste (cement-water mixture). While in Portland cement concretes, the paste coats all aggregate particles and binds them together, in soil cements the amount of cement is lower and therefore there are voids left, and the result is a cement matrix with nodules of ...

  4. Self-consolidating concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-consolidating_concrete

    Self-consolidating concrete or self-compacting concrete (SCC) [1] is a concrete mix which has a low yield stress, high deformability, good segregation resistance (prevents separation of particles in the mix), and moderate viscosity (necessary to ensure uniform suspension of solid particles during transportation, placement (without external compaction), and thereafter until the concrete sets).

  5. Hydrophobic soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobic_soil

    Hydrophobic soil is most familiarly formed when a fire or hot air disperses waxy compounds found in the uppermost litter layer consisting of organic matter. [2] After the compounds disperse, they mainly coat sandy soil particles near the surface in the upper layers of soil, making the soil hydrophobic.

  6. Roller-compacted concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller-compacted_concrete

    The rebuilt upper reservoir of the Taum Sauk plant, nearing completion in this photo, is the largest RCC dam in North America. [1]Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) or rolled concrete (rollcrete) is a special blend of concrete that has essentially the same ingredients as conventional concrete but in different ratios, and increasingly with partial substitution of fly ash for portland cement. [2]

  7. Impervious surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impervious_surface

    The pavement materials seal the soil surface, eliminating rainwater infiltration and natural groundwater recharge. This can cause urban flooding . An article in the Seattle Times states that "while urban areas cover only 3 percent of the U.S., it is estimated that their runoff is the primary source of pollution in 13 percent of rivers, 18 ...

  8. Angle of repose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_repose

    The material is poured through a funnel to form a cone. The tip of the funnel should be held close to the growing cone and slowly raised as the pile grows, to minimize the impact of falling particles. Stop pouring the material when the pile reaches a predetermined height or the base a predetermined width.

  9. Water retention curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_retention_curve

    Water retention curve is the relationship between the water content, θ, and the soil water potential, ψ. The soil moisture curve is characteristic for different types of soil, and is also called the soil moisture characteristic. It is used to predict the soil water storage, water supply to the plants (field capacity) and soil aggregate stability.
