Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF

The upward pressure against the base of an impervious dam, transmitted by water in the foundation from the water behind the dam, or pressure on the upper surface of any horizontal joint or crack in a dam. Such pressure tends to offset the weight of the dam and in some cases to overturn it; it reduces the dam's stability or resistance to overturning.  2, record 2, English, - uplift

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 DEF

Pressure in an upward direction against the bottom of a structure, as a dam, a road slab, or a basement floor.  3, record 2, English, - uplift

Action exercée par l'eau présente dans les terrains sur les constructions totalement ou partiellement enterrées (fondation de barrages, revêtements de canaux ou de galeries, etc).  4, record 2, French, - sous%2Dpression

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Le drainage, placé le plus près possible du parement amont, a pour but essentiel de réduire - voire de supprimer - la sous-pression, de recueillir l'eau qui pourrait pénétrer dans le corps de l'ouvrage et de l'évacuer.  5, record 2, French, - sous%2Dpression

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 DEF

An active camming chock [containing] either three or four quarter-circle metal cams ... connected to the rest of the unit by an axle (or two) ... held in position by a [solid] stem containing a trigger mechanism.  1, record 3, English, - solid%2Dstemmed%20active%20cam

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Note that solid-stemmed active cams are not made for horizontal or diagonal cracks. Rigged normally, a solid stem that juts out of such a crack will severely bend when a load is placed on it.  1, record 3, English, - solid%2Dstemmed%20active%20cam

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

The active cam’s stem also affects its stability ... A short, solid stem is more likely to ... "walk" into the crack, losing its secure position. Despite potential stability problems ... the solid stem not only makes a strong connection; it also makes retracting the trigger bar very easy.  1, record 3, English, - solid%2Dstemmed%20active%20cam

Pour distinguer les coinceurs mécaniques montés sur les barres centrales rigides de ceux montés sur les câbles flexibles, on a trouvé la locution «modèles rigides», ce qui a amené à la proposition du terme «coinceur mécanique rigide». Aussi par analogie avec le terme «coinceur mécanique flexible».  1, record 3, French, - coinceur%20m%C3%A9canique%20rigide

Wild Country Flexible Friends: The ultimate pro for horizontal placements, pockets and small cracks. The 5 mm flexible stainless steel cable stem bends over edges.  4, record 4, English, - c%C3%A2ble%20cam

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Many active camming chocks have flexible cable stems, rather than solid stems. Flexible stems reduce leveraging problems. They also allow you to place your active cam into a horizontal crack without worrying that the stem will break when loaded over the crack's edge... flexible stems are weaker than solid stems.  5, record 4, English, - c%C3%A2ble%20cam
