Stable Rock is natural solid mineral matter that can be excavated with vertical sides and remain intact while exposed. It is usually identified by a rock name such as granite or sandstone. Determining whether a deposit is of this type may be difficult unless it is known whether cracks exist and whether or not the cracks run into or away from the excavation.
Type B Soils are cohesive soils with an unconfined compressive strength greater than 0.5 tsf (48 kPa) but less than 1.5 tsf (144 kPa). Examples of other Type B soils are: angular gravel; silt; silt loam; previously disturbed soils unless otherwise classified as Type C; soils that meet the unconfined compressive strength or cementation requirements of Type A soils but are fissured or subject to vibration; dry unstable rock; and layered systems sloping into the trench at a slope less than 4H:1V (only if the material would be classified as a Type B soil).

Type C Soils are cohesive soils with an unconfined compressive strength of 0.5 tsf (48 kPa) or less. Other Type C soils include granular soils such as gravel, sand and loamy sand, submerged soil, soil from which water is freely seeping, and submerged rock that is not stable. Also included in this classification is material in a sloped, layered system where the layers dip into the excavation or have a slope of four horizontal to one vertical (4H:1V) or greater.
Layered Geological Strata. Where soils are configured in layers, i.e., where a layered geologic structure exists, the soil must be classified on the basis of the soil classification of the weakest soil layer. Each layer may be classified individually if a more stable layer lies below a less stable layer, i.e., where a Type C soil rests on top of stable rock.
The water table is an underground boundary between the soil surface and the area where groundwater saturates spaces between sediments and cracks in rock. Water pressure and atmospheric pressure are equal at this boundary.
The soil surface above the water table is called the unsaturated zone, where both oxygen and water fill the spaces between sediments. The unsaturated zone is also called the zone of aeration due to the presence of oxygen in the soil. Underneath the water table is the saturated zone, where water fills all spaces between sediments. The saturated zone is bounded at the bottom by impenetrable rock.
Another popular method of use is to smoke cocaine that has been processed to make a rock crystal (also called "freebase cocaine"). The crystal is heated to produce vapors that are inhaled into the lungs. This form of cocaine is called Crack, which refers to the crackling sound of the rock as it's heated. Some people also smoke Crack by sprinkling it on marijuana or tobacco, and smoke it like a cigarette.
This typically happens when tempered fire glass is damp or wet and the burner is turned on. The heating of the moisture causes an expansion as it turns to a gas which may cause some of the cracked (but not completely broken) pieces of tempered glass to separate into pieces. This is a normal occurrence in new installations of tempered fire glass and is not a need for concern. Once all the cracks in the glass are separated into individual pieces the crackling and popping sound will cease. We do recommend that on new installations, if the glass is wet that you start off with a low flame and turn it up after the glass has heated and dried. To completely prevent this you can keep your fire glass dry by covering your fire pit when not in use (be sure it has completely cooled down to prevent a fire hazard).
While the majority of these symptoms can be very uncomfortable, they are unlikely to cause physical harm. It is important to know that you can receive professional addiction treatment to help ease withdrawal side effects and prevent future relapses.13 Common crack cocaine withdrawal symptoms include:6,7,11,12,13,14
Thunder is the sound caused by lightning.[1][2][3] Depending upon the distance from and nature of the lightning, it can range from a long, low rumble to a sudden, loud crack. The sudden increase in temperature and hence pressure caused by the lightning produces rapid expansion of the air in the path of a lightning bolt.[4] In turn, this expansion of air creates a sonic shock wave, often referred to as a "thunderclap" or "peal of thunder". The scientific study of thunder is known as brontology and the irrational fear (phobia) of thunder is called brontophobia.
Close-in lightning has been described first as a clicking or cloth-tearing sound, then a cannon shot sound or loud crack/snap, followed by continuous rumbling.[7] The early sounds are from the leader parts of lightning, then the near parts of the return stroke, then the distant parts of the return stroke.[7]
Glass usually appears to fracture instantly and dramatically, as when a thrown rock or other projectile hits a glass window. When glass containers break they often seem to violently explode in all directions. However, glass fracture events consist of the extensions of individual cracks that rupture a single atomic bond at a time. The crack extension, even though only breaking one bond at a time, typically occurs so fast during a glass fracture event that it appears to be instantaneous to the observers.
Recently, Corning has released and promoted a glass product which they have termed to be Gorilla Glass. It is a strong, crack resistant glass that is suitable for many modern transparent electronic faceplates. Gorilla Glass appears to incorporate several of the above concepts. It is an alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass, which when compared with soda-lime-silicate glass has a higher elastic modulus, a higher the fracture toughness, and a higher hardness. It therefore has a greater resistance to surface contact damage than does a soda-lime-silica. In addition, the glass is chemically tempered, probably by the exchange of K+1 for Na+1 to create a surface compressive stress. In Fig. 2, the aluminosilicate also appears to be less susceptible to slow crack growth. Several of the strengthening processes for Gorilla Glass are those defined by the Griffith Equation. They appear to combine synergistically to increase the practical strength of Gorilla Glass.
Descriptively, the fracture origin, the point of crack initiation, is surrounded by a smooth flat circular region. Because of that smoothness, in glass fractography it is known as the fracture mirror, although in the fractography of polymers it is simply called the smooth region. The smooth flat fracture mirror region is indicative of a stable planar form of crack growth away from the origin. The fracture mirror in Fig. 6 of the high-strength optical fiber illustrates a complete 360 development of the mirror region from an internal fracture origin. The internal origin is identified by the arrows drawn within the mirror by the extension of hackle lines. This form of fracture initiation from an internal defect is unusual for glass, as glass objects usually fail from surface defects.
A glass fracture initiates when the stress intensity at the most severe crack tip is K IC, the fracture toughness of the glass. The crack velocity at K IC is 0.1 m/s. However, once a crack initiates, it accelerates rapidly through the mirror region. That acceleration occurs at increasing K I values and under the driving force of a continually increasing strain energy release rate. The energy release rate increases linearly with crack length, C. For that reason, as the crack grows, there is increasingly more energy available for continually accelerating the crack to ever higher velocities until the terminal velocity is achieved. That terminal velocity is related to the speed of sound. It is 103 m/s.
The flat, exceedingly smooth surface character of the fracture mirror region is characteristic of a stable planar crack growth. It is this planar stability that enables the extending crack to create the almost perfectly flat smooth mirror surface. However, as the crack is extending and accelerating to reach its terminal velocity, this planar stability becomes a fleeting phenomenon as local dynamic instabilities develop as mist droplets as the accelerating crack approaches its terminal velocity.
Residual stresses in a glass object create greater stored elastic strain energy to drive the propagating crack, or to create multiple cracks once fracture is initiated. As illustrated in the Fig. 4 schematic of flat glass fracture, when substantial residual stresses are introduced during strengthening by thermal tempering, then this additional stored elastic strain energy causes the formation of a much greater total crack fracture surface area. Those glasses shatter into numerous almost equiaxed small fragments. The fracture of tempered glass is so remarkable that it has received the special name of dicing, because it produces small fragments much as a kitchen cook creates when dicing vegetables for a soup. From a safety perspective, this dicing fracture mode which produces equiaxed pieces is preferable to the long sharp shards that result from the fracture of fully annealed glass. Dicing has been analyzed in detail by Warren. 2ff7e9595c
