The swell factor of materials such as sand and gravel is a variable which is dependent upon the type and compaction of the undisturbed (bank run) material. Generally speaking swell for sand and gravel can range from 12% to 40%. The variability in swell is affected by moisture, clay and other mineral content. Clean, dry sand and gravel tends towards the 12% end with an average of around 17%. Swell increases to the right as the material tested becomes "dirtier". Bank cubic yard (BCY) is converted to loose cubic yard (LCY) by multiplying the BCY x swell factor + BCY. Swell of a given deposit can be approximated by the use of several calibrated buckets. Carefully excavate a volume of bank run material and place it directly into calibrated buckets of a known volume. (Note: a five gallon bucket in not a five gallon bucket, you need to actually calculate the volume.) Before moving the filled or partially filled buckets, measure the depth from the rim top to the average top of material and also weigh each bucket. Carefully record the numbers for each bucket. Next, carefully measure and calculate the volume of the hole from which the material was removed. The volume of material in the buckets (loose) will be larger than the volume removed from the hole (bank). The difference reflects the amount of swell for that particular deposit.
Electricity generated for dams is renewable because the Sun does the heavy lifting of evaporating the water from seas and lakes so it can fall back to the ground as rain and swell rivers again. Tidal dams use the gravity of the Moon, which is constant.
In road engineering, a clay substrate can cause problems with its propensity to swell when moist, and its plasticity. Clay particles may be bound to 'burnt lime' CaO, and this is often used as a soil stabilizer. This mixture is much more stable. There may well be companies that have trademarked the name.
Clay mineralogy should be considered for structures built on or backfilled with clayey soils. Smectite clays such as montmorillonite (2:1 clays) have a high shrink-swell potential. When wet, 2:1 clays can cause serious structural foundation problems. Kaolinitic clays are less of a concern.
The Attack Time slider allows you to control how quickly a sound's volume increases after a trigger, such as when a note is played. A shorter attack time results in a more immediate onset, making the sound punchy, while a longer attack time creates a gradual swell, which can make the sound feel softer or more atmospheric. This parameter is crucial in shaping the dynamics of audio signals, particularly in synthesizers and compressors.
Carpel tunnel syndrome causes a wrist and hand to be stiff and sore. Tendonitis of the wrist, sprains, and arthritis can also cause a hand and wrist to swell, be sore, and stiff.
Testicular hypofunction is a disorder which makes the left side of the testicles swell. It causes an abnormal failure of the testes when it goes unchecked.
Left shoulder swelling can be caused by various factors, such as injury, inflammation of the tissues or joints, bursitis, tendonitis, or infections like cellulitis. It is important to seek medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
Infections causes it to swell
maybe a cyst
Tonsillitis
asthma
Arthritis which comes in various forms.
Bursitis causes pain and tenderness around the affected bone or tendon. The bursae sacs may swell, often making movement difficult. The most commonly affected joints are the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, knee, and foot.
It softens and causes the hair to swell
