Accuracy of Earthwork Calculations From Digital Elevation Data
… is usually below the level normally needed for earthwork calculations. However, the density and quantity of the elevation data from this source usually exceeds by many folds the coverage used in the conventional method of field or photogrammetric method of cross-section leveling. An …

Earthwork Castles of Gwent and Ergyng AD 1050-1250
This thesis is concerned with the earthwork and timber castles built in the southern March of Wales between the periods AD 1050-1250. The research addresses the presence of the castles and discusses their roles as weapons of conquest and structures of administrative control. It is argued that the …

Lines Across the Land: A Biography of the Linear Earthwork Landscapes of the Later Prehistoric Yorkshire Wolds
… carving up their world with monumental linear earthworks. This project explores the meanings of the later prehistoric boundary systems of the Yorkshire Wolds. It writes a biography of the linear earthwork landscapes of the north-central Wolds, using geographic information systems (GIS), …

The Agency of Earth on the Site of the Design
… by turning excavated soil into an important earthwork. The design is not only about creating an earthwork for people, it also transforms invisible earth into a visible structure. Based on the practices of Native American mound builders, the earthwork stands for the values of diversity and …

Spatial Patterns of Raised Fields and Linguistic Diversity in Mojos, Beni, Bolivia
Throughout Amazonia, earthworks are found in areas of diverse linguistic and ethnic backgrounds. The distribution of these earthworks within various linguistic and ethnic areas suggests a multiethnic or multilinguistic network, in which interaction between these diverse groups occurred, creating …

An examination of the requirements for fill materials included in guide specifications
… materials are used in the preparation of the earthwork sections of specifications for individual projects. This report discusses the agencies that produce guide specifications for fill materials and the specific material characteristics that these specifications stipulate. A database of …

An assessment of archive stereo-aerial photographs for 3-dimensional reconstruction of damaged and destroyed archaeological earthworks
Archaeological earthworks are being damaged and destroyed at a rate and scale never before seen, which has resulted from increased mechanisation of human activity in the landscape since World War II. Along with natural degradation processes, recording earthwork metrics prior to their loss is …

Aerial Lidar in the Archaeological Reconnaissance and Mapping Of Civil War Earthen Fortifications
<p>American Civil War earthwork fortifications have the potential to provide researchers and the public a glimpse into the battles and strategies employed by Union and Confederate forces in throughout the conflict. With the ever increasing threat of losing these sites, the need to quickly and …

The Early Norman Castles of the North of England
… castles, as against the general distribution of earthwork sites as a whole. It is argued that this reveals the changing role of castles over the course of the Norman period, as different economic, military and social factors influenced their use by the landowning classes, both Norman and English. …

Europe's liquid commons : towards a public territorial infrastructure
… a reappraisal of the "layer-method" to integrate earthwork (cut and fill landscaping), infrastructure and urban form as means to give a symbolic form to the territory. An exemplary project is proposed in Novisad, Serbia where a public sphere surrounding a variety of hydrologic programs exposes …

Landscapes in Process: Designing Future Relationships between the National Mall and Cockeysville Quarry
… hydrologies at both sites to drive new uses,earthwork, urban forest (tree canopies), and axial relationships, inspired by the materials, forms, and historical links between the two landscapes. By looking at the landscapes as a pair, the design recalls the past connections between the sites …

The Effect of Management on Erosion of Civil War Battlefield Earthworks
… has been charged with preserving Civil War Earthworks while allowing public access. Soil erosion, both natural and human-induced, is a major concern facing the preservation of the earthworks. Currently, the National Park Service is committed to preserving these earthworks for future …

The determination of road sections by computer for use in road design
… of the standard road template correctly while earthwork quantities are being calculated. Several available programs are investigated with regard to the procedures adopted by them for the selection of appropriate road side-drain templates. Deficiencies in these programs are noted. A general …

Sculpture as artifice: mimetic form in the environment
… and field study, I will develop a sculptural earthwork called Mud Dispositions. My aim is to test if an object, unrelated to a site, can be given a patina that relates it to that site. I will then demonstrate how deleterious environmental factors (rainfall and extreme heat and cold, combined …

Assessment of lime-treated clays under different environmental conditions
… low shear strength and poor workability. In earthwork, replacing these soils is sometimes economically and sustainably unjustifiable in particular if they can be stabilised to improve their behaviour. Several techniques have evolved to enable construction on problematic soils such as …

Acceptance of silent piling technology among local authorities in Malaysia
In Malaysia, the foundation design and piling method generally relies on the conventional method. However, the construction work sometimes contributed to some bad effects such as noise and vibration disturbance. Silent piling technology is the new piling method used in construction activities in …

Influence of ureolytic bacteria (UB) on the engineering properties and microstructure behavior of interlocking compressed earth bricks (ICEB)
Interlocking Compressed Earth Brick (ICEB) are cement stabilized soil bricks that allow for dry stacked construction. This characteristic resulted to the quick process of building walls at the same time, it requires less skilled labour as the bricks are laid dry and can easily be locked into its …
