Cantilever walls resist lateral pressures by friction at the base of the wall and / or passive earth pressure, the tendency of the soil to resist lateral movement.

In some cases, the lateral support which can be provided by the shoring wall alone is insufficient to resist the planned lateral loads ; in this case additional support is provided by walers or tie-backs.

Tie-backs are steel tendons drilled into the face of the wall which extend beyond the soil which is applying pressure to the wall, to provide additional lateral resistance to the wall.

The introduction of steel reinforcement generally results in a CMU wall having much greater lateral and tensile strength than unreinforced walls.

The ovary ( for a given side ) is located in the lateral wall of the pelvis in a region called the ovarian fossa.

The lateral wall of the cochlear duct is formed by the spiral ligament and the stria vascularis, which produces the endolymph.

It opens anteriorly, through the isthmus faucium, into the mouth, while in its lateral wall, between the Palatoglossal arch and the Palatopharyngeal arch, is the palatine tonsil.

The anterior wall consists of the base of the tongue and the epiglottic vallecula ; the lateral wall is made up of the tonsil, tonsillar fossa, and tonsillar ( faucial ) pillars ; the superior wall consists of the inferior surface of the soft palate and the uvula.

It accompanies the internal pudendal vessels upward and forward along the lateral wall of the ischiorectal fossa, being contained in a sheath of the obturator fascia termed the pudendal canal.

The ureters run posteroinferiorly on the lateral walls of the pelvis and then curve anteriormedially to enter the bladder through the back, at the vesicoureteric junction, running within the wall of the bladder for a few centimetres.

* Shear wall, a wall composed of braced panels to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure

The cell wall provides lateral strength to resist osmotic turgor pressure, but is flexible enough to allow cell growth when needed ; it also serves as a medium for intercellular communication.

The Eustachian tube extends from the anterior wall of the middle ear to the lateral wall of the nasopharynx, approximately at the level of the inferior nasal concha.

* the floor and lateral wall of the nasal antrum

It runs along the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus, above the other orbital nerves, receiving in its course one or two filaments from the cavernous plexus of the sympathetic, and a communicating branch from the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal.

Roots are simple in structure, with a single primary root that grows vertically downwards, later producing smaller lateral roots.

It grows from a completely vertical crown, favoring riverbanks and sandbars, but sends out lateral stolons to form new crowns.

By opening the stop wider, similar deviations arise for lateral points as have been already discussed for axial points ; but in this case they are much more complicated.

While the forward pass is an invention of the North American game, the lateral and backward pass is also a part of rugby union and rugby league, where such passes are much more common.

Filling some or all of the cores with concrete or concrete with steel reinforcement ( typically rebar ) offers much greater tensile and lateral strength to structures.

The polar flagella are constitutively expressed and provide motility in bulk fluid, while the lateral flagella are expressed when the polar flagella meet too much resistance to turn.

Amplectobelua species, in contrast to Anomalocaris, were smaller and had a much wider body front with eyes placed lateral to the mouth.

Though twitching is sometimes a symptom of serious diseases such as spinal injury, muscular dystrophy, Lyme Disease, multiple sclerosis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( ALS ), it is much more often due to more benign causes ( BFS, over-exertion, etc.

Flower-bearing buds are ~ 3 / 4 in ( 2 cm ) long, obovate, long pointed ; other terminal buds are acute, ~ 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 in ( 10 – 15 mm ) long, while lateral buds are much smaller.

* The IRG Solution-hierarchical incompetence and how to overcome it argued that tacit knowledge was essentially a property of social networks and that much tacit knowledge was held in, and communicated by this informal lateral communication between network members.

Further, it indicates that cortical damage rostral to, and including, lateral geniculate nucleus is an unlikely outcome of the infarction, as too much of the lateral geniculate nucleus is, proportionally, devoted to macular-stream processing.

Their posterior median spinnerets ( silk-extruding organs ) are much shorter than their posterior lateral spinnerets, which have three segments, and are elongated ( almost as long as their opisthosoma ).

The light gets from your clock face to your eyeball almost instantaneously, but the path of the signals from retina through lateral geniculate nucleus to striate cortex takes 5 to 10 milliseconds — a paltry fraction of the 300 milliseconds offset, but how much longer does it take them to get to you.

In performing a lumbar puncture, first the patient is usually placed in a left ( or right ) lateral position with his / her neck bent in full flexion and knees bent in full flexion up to his / her chest, approximating a fetal position as much as possible.

As the Edison groove pitch ( or " TPI ", i. e. " threads per inch ") was 150, a much finer grooving than that on lateral discs, Edison's 10-inch discs played considerably longer than Victor's or Columbia's -- up to nearly five minutes per side.

The stem produces lateral shoots and much more sturdy branches to bear heavy yields.

In humans the lateral zone takes up a much larger fraction of the cerebellum than in most other mammalian species.

As you load a steel-sprung car, its bump absorption capability becomes totally asymmetrical ( too small a compression margin and too much of an extension course available, and the suspension moves far from its ideal operating angles, reducing lateral / longitudinal grip, etc.

T. micagemmae can be distinguished from its much more common cousin primarily by the lighter coloration of its lower body and by the centered position of its lateral stipes, compared with a position well above the middle in T. albonubes.

Because of the deforestation that resulted from the cutting of much wood for fuel during the 19th-century age of steamboats, the Mississippi River became more shallow and broad, with more severe flooding and lateral changes in its channel in the stretch from St. Louis to the confluence with the Ohio River.

That year, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease ) but continued to caddie for Watson until the strain became too much.

The rack is a ground-covering lateral four-beat gait, and is much faster, with the horse snapping their knees and hocks up quickly.

The invention and adaptation of the Shack-Hartmann wave-front detector for the apparatus produced images of the retina with much higher lateral resolution.

However, AOSLO represents a method with much greater translational resolution than OCT and can thus be used to track minor lateral physical changes such as the effects of eye movements on the retina.

Clicks appear more stop-like ( sharp / abrupt ) or affricate-like ( noisy ) depending on their place of articulation: In southern Africa, clicks involving an apical alveolar or laminal postalveolar closure are acoustically abrupt and sharp, like stops, while labial, dental, and lateral clicks typically have longer and acoustically noisier releases that are superficially more like affricates.

In East Africa, however, the alveolar clicks tend to be flapped, while the lateral clicks tend to be more sharp.

It is more like the evolution of microbes, with extensive lateral gene transfer: Quite distantly related languages may affect each other through language contact, which in extreme cases may lead to languages with no single ancestor, whether they be creoles or mixed languages.

This line stretches from the hip joint ( or more precisely the head of the femur ), through the knee joint ( the intercondylar eminence of the tibia ), and down to the center of the ankle ( the ankle mortise, the fork-like grip between the medial and lateral malleoli ).

Once there is no more water pressure in the lateral line, the sprinkler head will retract back into the ground.

The more decentralized a system is, the more it relies on lateral relationships, and the less it can rely on command or force.

Dioxins with no lateral ( 2, 3, 7, and 8 ) chlorines, which thus contain hydrogen atoms on adjacent pairs of carbons, can more readily be oxidized by cytochromes P450.

More sophisticated systems allow for more information such as lateral and longitudinal acceleration ( or G-force ), throttle position, steering wheel position and brake pressure.

Like the Kunduz, it probably drains the northern slopes of the Hindu Kush by deep lateral valleys, more or less parallel to the crest, reaching westwards towards the Khawak Pass.

Bornman appears to have investigated the matter more intimately at first hand than most authors, and describes the root system as " rather shallow and simple, consisting of a tapering taproot with one or more non-tapering extensions, some pronounced lateral roots, and a network of delicate spongy roots.

Microdontia of a single tooth is more likely to occur in a maxillary lateral incisor.

Spur-bearing trees occur more frequently than tip-bearing trees, and they bear most of their fruit yearly at the end of short lateral pieces of wood ( spurs ) up to about 4 inches long.

8 ) converted the task of detecting fringe shifts from the relatively insensitive one of estimating their lateral displacements to the considerably more sensitive task of adjusting the light intensity on both sides of a sharp boundary for equal luminance.

A lateral canal 5 miles long with 6 locks was started but the company needed more to complete it.

Three letters are used to indicate the basic clicks: c for dental clicks, x for lateral clicks, and q for post-alveolar clicks ( for a more detailed explanation, see the table of consonant phonemes, below ).

The migratory stomatitis in the oral cavity mucosa and the geographic tongue that confined to the dorsal and lateral aspects of the tongue mucosa, are believed to be oral manifestations of psoriasis, as being histologically identical to cutaneous psoriasis lesions and more prevalent among psoriasis patients, although these conditions are quite common in the non-psoriatic population, affecting 1 % to 2. 5 % of the general population.

Researchers have found that if the tilting motion is reduced to compensate for 80 % or less of lateral apparent force passengers feel more secure.

He added movable surfaces, the precursor to ailerons, between the wings in an effort to gain more lateral stability than was offered by the 14-bis wing dihedral.
