  • Bearing capacity [r]: The capacity of soil to support the loads applied to the ground. [e]
  • Civil engineering [r]: A broad field of engineering dealing with the design, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and water supply and sewage systems. [e]
  • Deep foundation [r]: Foundation distinguished from shallow foundations by the depth they are embedded into the ground, for very large design loads, a poor soil at shallow depth, or site constraints. [e]
  • Engineering [r]: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. [e]
  • Foundation (structure) [r]: A structure that transfers building loads to the ground. [e]
  • Geophysics [r]: The study of the Earth by quantitative physical methods, namely seismic, magnetic, electrical, electromagnetic, thermal and radioactivity methods. [e]
  • Geotechnical investigation [r]: Enquiry on the physical properties of soil and rock around a site to design earthworks and foundations for proposed structures, and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions. [e]
  • Proctor compaction test [r]: A test to determine the maximum practically-achievable density of soils and aggregates, frequently used in geotechnical engineering. [e]
