La consolidation consiste à compacter le béton frais dans les coffrages, autour des éléments noyés et des armatures de façon à éliminer les nids de cailloux et d’abeilles et l'air emprisonné. Elle ne doit pas faire sortir de quantités importantes d’air entraîné intentionnellement dans le béton. [...] La vibration, interne ou externe, est la méthode la plus couramment employée pour consolider du béton. Lorsqu'on vibre du béton, on supprime temporairement les frottements internes entre les granulats; le béton se comporte alors comme un liquide, se tassant dans les coffrages sous l'action de la gravité, et les grosses bulles d’air emprisonnées montent plus facilement à la surface. Le frottement interne est rétabli dès que cesse la vibration. 3, record 5, French, - compact%C3%A9

Plusieurs causes peuvent produire des failles de traction. Un massif, comprimé dans tous les sens et soumis à une faille de compression, peut être obligé de glisser suivant une pente supérieure à son angle de frottement interne. Dans ce cas, la pesanteur peut faire glisser la partie supérieure du massif, produisant une faille de traction. Il peut également y avoir entraînement. Un massif en mouvement peut rencontrer en un certain endroit une résistance à l'avancement très grande, par frottement par exemple, et qui peut être telle qu'elle arrête le mouvement. Si la couche de sol située en dessous est assez plastique, il y a entraînement et glissement, donc faille de traction. 1, record 7, French, - faille%20de%20traction

To assist with compaction, a concrete mix that has a low internal friction coefficient is desirable. The internal friction in a concrete mix is the sum of the total friction present between the individual particles. The amount of friction exerted by any given particle is directly related to the particle shape and also the surface texture of the aggregate. The only practical way of overcoming a higher than desirable internal friction in a concrete mix is to increase the workability of the cement paste. The two basic methods of increasing workability are adding more water to a mix, or modifying the cement paste with admixtures or performance enhancing chemicals. 1, record 9, English, - internal%20friction%20coefficient

As applied to atmospheric motions, the principle which states that the sum of the kinetic (K), the internal (I) and the potential (P) energies over the entire atmosphere, namely the total energy, can only change if non-adiabatic or frictional processes are present. Therefore, for adiabatic, frictionless flow, I + K + P = constant. 1, record 15, English, - conservation%20of%20energy
