How can I identify retaining walls?
Retaining walls are built to prevent soil from being lost due to erosion or displacement down a slope. Once built, it can also be used as a beautifying feature in a garden. They usually appear as decorative, and are located on a hill or incline. Retaining walls are used to hold back soil and rocks that might otherwise slide down a hill. Retaining walls can be made of different materials such as rocks and stones.

What is over excavation?
The short answer... excavation gets you to grade, over-excavation gets you below grade and is based on engineering requirements. The longer answer... In grading work there may be times when plans specify to cut or excavate to a particular elevation. There are other times when an over-excavation will be specified to remove unsuitable soils to a certain depth. So lets say that you are at a site where the native elevation is at 460' and plans call for finished grade at an elevation of 450' with an over-excavation of 5.' What this means is that you would excavate down 10' (from 460' to 450') and then over-excavate down an additional 5' (from 450' to 445') At that point the bottom of the over-excavated location will usually have x number of inches to be scarified, moisture conditioned and compacted to a certain percentage of the maximum dry density obtained in laboratory testing. The removed soil (aka: over-ex or OX) will then be replaced with suitable material in lifts of a specified thickness with an optimum moisture content and compacted to a particular percentage of the maximum dry density.
What is disaggregation of concrete?
Disaggregation of concrete refers to the process of breaking down concrete into its constituent materials, such as cement, aggregates, and water. This can occur naturally over time due to environmental factors like weathering, or it can be a deliberate action for recycling purposes. Disaggregated concrete can be reused as a base material for new concrete, thus promoting sustainability and reducing waste in construction. Additionally, understanding disaggregation helps in assessing the durability and longevity of existing concrete structures.

Why is the stock of Florida Power and Light group down?
Fuel oil costs which are a major expense of generating electric; and the lack of new construction in Florida markets contribute heavily to the analysis. Little new construction stiffles the immediate growth of power use.

Are office cubicles practical?
Yes they are. Its just one big square put together in one straight one. There all connected together to keep costs down on construction. They are also very customizeable.
