Glacial till is in fact very commonly used in building. It is over consolidated and so is very stiff making it a very good founding material as there is very little settlement.
This also means that it has a very high shear strength by the standards of soils so can be used to form very stable embankments and cuttings.
There can however be practical problems with the use of glacial tills as there may be large cobble and boulder sized clasts within the clay matrix which can make excavation of cuttings difficult and also hamper the driving of piles for deep foundations.
Also some clays (which may be present in glacial till) are more "active" than others. Activity in this context is a term used to describe their shrink swell potential, as some clays undergo significant volume changes depending on their moisture content. This can cause cyclical shrinking and swelling of the clay / glacial till depending on seasonal variations in rainfall and temperatures.
In embankments and cuttings, this deformation leads to a strain softening behaviour which can ultimately result in the formation of a slip surface causing a failure in slopes.
In founding materials composed of glacial till, this behaviour can lead to differential settlements that can cause damage to structures and underground services.
I am thinking it ill be till Jan mid
In open loop configuration the gain of the amplifier will be infinite, which in turn produces only square wave output.
It's a building with no basement. The building is erected on a concrete "slab" or pad.
the purpose of a building permit is to ensure compliance with building codes!
Section is the vertical cut of the building.....
Till could be referring to a shortened version of until, or a glacial till which is unsorted glacial sediment.
Glacial till or 'Moraine'.
It depends on the stage. # Glacial lake or cwn # Glacial till # Glacial morang
glacial till.
glacial till is the stuff deposited from a glacier.
Glacial weathering forms till moraine kettles and also kettles lakes. More specifically the acts of glacial depositionforms these.
till is the name of the material. In most cases all glacial-related deposits are unsorted and unstratified.

Two types of glacial deposits are moraines, which are formations of mixed sediment pushed by and deposited from a glacier, and drumlins, which are elongated hills made of glacial till that form parallel to the direction of ice flow.
I really don't know......
because , look at your BOX DIAGRAM
Sediments directly deposited by the glacier are called till.
