One of the most important properties of the basecourse material is the gradation. In this regard, coarse graded aggregates should be used to increase the layer bearing capacity if the overall material is properly graded. Furthermore, narrow grading bands must be set to ensure homogeneity of the material.  3, record 1, English, - narrow%20grading%20band

Monitoring wells should effectively achieve one or more of the following objectives: Provide access to the groundwater system for collection of water samples ... Measure the hydraulic head at a specific location in the groundwater flow system ...

Figure 6. 1 illustrates a typical open disposal trench at the Barnwell facility. The trench floor is sloped slightly and covered with a layer of sand to facilitate collection of percolating water in a French drain. A number of pipes allow any water that may collect in the French drain to be removed and analyzed. Presently waste, primarily in boxes, drums and cask liners, is stacked neatly in the trench... As the level of the waste reaches the design level, 2 m below grade, a layer of dry soil is added and allowed to filter down between the waste containers. When a trench is filled, it is covered with a cap of at least 0. 6 m of compacted native clay, followed by at least 0. 9 m of soil. The cap is graded to shed water and seeded with grass. The sump in each trench is monitored for at least 5 years and any subsidence in the cap is filled to maintain its water-shedding ability. Monitoring wells at the perimeter of the facility have not detected migration of nuclides after more than 15 years of operation.  4, record 2, English, - monitoring%20well

The combination of oscillation and slope of the sieve causes the stock to travel slowly along its length. Air currents drawn from the underside of the sieve float the lighter branny particles to the surface of the layer of material on the sieve. Heavier particles of endosperm fall to the lowest strata of material and ride on the surface of the sieve until they reach the part of the sieve that has openings big enough for the particles to fall through. As the particles fall through, they are collected in a series of graded fractions. Thus, at the head end of the purifier, the purest most dense particles of endosperm pass first through the mesh as mixture travels along the sieve, the composite particles of endosperm with adhering bran are next to pass through the mesh, and finally the light coarse branny particles tail over the sieve into separation collecting spouts.  1, record 4, English, - collecting%20spouts

L'effet combiné de l'oscillation et de l'inclinaison du tamis oblige la mouture à se déplacer lentement sur toute la longueur du sasseur. L'air aspiré par le bas souffle les particules de son plus légères vers la surface de la couche de produits, tandis que les fragments d'albumen plus lourds tombent au fond et suivent la surface du tamis jusqu'à ce qu'ils rencontrent des ouvertures assez grandes pour passer. Quand les particules traversent le tamis, elles sont recueillies en plusieurs fractions calibrées. Ainsi, à la tête du sasseur, ce sont les fragments d'albumen les plus denses et les plus purs qui passent les premiers à travers les mailles. Ensuite, viennent les particules composées d'albumen et de son (particules vêtues) qui sortent et enfin les particules grossières et légères de son se déversent dans des collecteurs séparés en queue des tamis.  1, record 4, French, - collecteurs

One example of a relatively complex layered cap is that proposed for the tumulus waste disposal facility at West Valley.... It is an above grade disposal unit which will be built in clay till and has an engineered cap.... The engineered cap is composed of a surface layer of topsoil and grasses to prevent erosion and is graded such that surface runoff is directed away from the waste.  1, record 5, English, - engineered%20cap

The performance of a LLW facility can be increased with the use of engineered barriers to limit the amount of water which contacts the waste, to retain or retard radioactivity and provide intrusion resistance as well as structural stability to the facility. Types of engineered barriers include waste form, waste packaging, backfill and engineered confinement barriers. The use of liners, concrete and engineered covers over a disposal facility are described in some detail.  1, record 5, English, - engineered%20cap

As used in this context, the word "engineered" refers to the fact that features and materials have been designed or selected to accomplish certain functions. In shallow land burial the materials are usually natural rather than man-made.  1, record 5, English, - engineered%20cap

[Enfouissement à faible profondeur]. Ce stockage est réalisé soit sur des aires aménagées, soit dans des tranchées bétonnées. [...] Les tranchées bétonnées sont réalisées en partant d'une fosse creusée dans le sol, dans laquelle est réalisé un radier. On élève des parois en béton le long de la fosse, constituant ainsi des cases dans lesquelles sont déposés les déchets. Après injection d'un coulis de ciment, on obtient un monolithe que l'on recouvre par une couche bitumineuse.  4, record 5, French, - couverture%20de%20hautes%20performances
