Study Notes
Soil Properties and Dynamics
- Ratio of water volume in soil to void volume in a given sample defines moisture content.
- Cohesive forces hold molecules or like particles together within a substance.
- An increase in groundwater table due to flooding decreases the bearing capacity of the soil.
Water Flow and Soil Classification
- Water flow rate through soil is determined for a specific time period, known as hydraulic conductivity.
- In the AASHTO Soil Classification System, a negative Group Index (GI) indicates a favorable soil condition.
- Water content at which no further loss of moisture causes volume change is called the "plastic limit."
Traffic Safety and Regulations
- The second "M" in HMVM related to accident rates stands for "modifiers."
- Crosswalks marked by solid white lines should have a distance of not less than 2 meters and not more than 6 meters apart.
- Equivalent hourly traffic rate represents the number of vehicles passing a point on a highway within less than one hour.
Occupational Safety
- Focus on understanding causes of workplace accidents and strategies to prevent unsafe behaviors and conditions.
