The drying-shrinkage of concrete made with recycled concrete is greater by 10 to 30% compared to the control concrete. Shrinkage values depend on the total surface area; in the recycled aggregate the surface area is expected to be high because of the presence of cement paste.

Cedar shakes are the ideal roofing material for many areas of the Western United States. A wood roof keeps your house warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. A Meeker shake roof can endure 130 mph winds. In the winter, a Meeker cedar roof will effectively shed snow and ice. Cedar shakes are resistive to thermal shock associated with freeze-thaw conditions. Where fire is a hazard, Meeker cedar shakes optionally treated with FTX are fire retardant for life. 3, record 4, English, - wood%20roof

Frost-jacking - When heaving occurs ..., if a structure imbedded in the ground is not properly anchored to resist such movement, the structure will be forced upward along with the ground surface. In most cases, the structure does not return to its original position when the active layer thaws during the following summer. The net upward movement is called "jacking." This phenomenon can occur whenever there is seasonal freezing and thawing of the active layer, and is not limited to permafrost areas. 2, record 6, English, - frost%20jacking

All of these early attempts at encapsulating "poor-quality" soils were aimed at providing a moisture-tight barrier beneath the roadway's wearing surface... Today the major applications are the following : To encapsulate frost-sensitive silt soils from problems associated with freeze-thaw cycles; to encapsulate expansive and heavy clays from volume changes associated with wet-dry cycles; to protect subgrade soils from being exposed to water from flooding, etc.... As currently practised, membrane-encapsulated soils(MESLs) utilize geotextiles as the base material and then impregnate them with a sprayed-on bitumenuous or elastomeric product... thereby forming bottom, sides, and top of the enclosed soil. 1, record 12, English, - membrane%20encapsulated%20soil

La fonction conteneur [des géotextiles] implique deux notions: la notion de confinement de matériaux granulaires ne disposant que d'une faible cohésion. Dans ce cas, le système est bi-composant discontinu. L'un des composants (géotextile) sert de contenant à l'autre (sol); la notion de matrice, où les vides interfibres du géotextile sont en mesure de contenir à cette échelle des matériaux visco-plastiques comme le bitume. 2, record 12, French, - couche%20de%20sol%20confin%C3%A9%20par%20membrane%20g%C3%A9otextile
