In evaluating a building or other work, it is critical to determine the state or condition of the asbestos. A distinction is made between its state and its condition here, because in some applications, such as sprayed-or trowelled-on friable insulation, the asbestos may be in good condition but it is in an inherently hazardous state. 1, record 16, English, - good%20condition

En évaluant un bâtiment ou un autre ouvrage, il est vital de déterminer le risque que présente l'amiante ou l'état dans lequel il se trouve. Nous distinguons « risque » et « état » parce que, dans certaines applications, par exemple pulvérisé ou projeté sur un isolant friable, l'amiante peut se trouver en bon état mais présenter un risque inhérent. 1, record 16, French, - bon%20%C3%A9tat

The aerodrome must be designed to accommodate aeroplane operations under most normal wind conditions. A tail wind on one runway is a head wind on a runway with a reciprocal heading. Runway lengths increase with tail wind, so when using the bidirectional runway concept(i. e. theoretically utilizing a head wind for all conditions in establishing runway length), the zero-wind condition is critical for both take-off and landing. 1, record 18, English, - bidirectional%20runway%20concept

La longueur de piste augmente avec le vent arrière, aussi lorsque l'on emploie la notion de piste bidirectionnelle (c'est-à-dire en utilisant théoriquement un vent debout dans toutes les circonstances pour établir la longueur de piste), c'est la condition de vent nul qui est critique tant pour le décollage que pour l'atterrissage. 1, record 18, French, - notion%20de%20piste%20bidirectionnelle
