	Embankment tube station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Embankment tube station is a London Underground station in the City of Westminster.
		Embankment station was opened in 1870 on the Metropolitan District Railway (now the District and Circle lines) as Charing Cross.
		This station serves the Thames Embankment, Trafalgar Square, Strand and Charing Cross.

	Guidelines: Guide Specifications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Construction of the embankment and spillway must be completed by the first of November to prevent failure during construction due to overtopping of the embankment from flood.
		Embankments shall be constructed to the lines and grades and cross sections indicated on the drawings, unless otherwise directed by the engineer.
		Any material placed in the embankment which fails to meet the requirements of the specifications, or which may have been placed or compacted at times or in a manner not acceptable to the engineer, shall be removed and disposed of or replaced properly at no cost to the owner.

	Item 203 Roadway Excavation and Embankment
		Embankment construction shall consist of preparation of the areas upon which embankments are to be placed; the placing and compacting of approved material within roadway areas where unsuitable material has been removed; and the placing and compacting of embankment material in holes, pits and other depressions within the roadway area.
		When embankment is to be placed on both sides of a concrete wall or a pipe or box type structure, operations shall be so conducted that the embankment is always at approximately the same elevation on both sides of the structure.
		Embankment and subgrade material which does not contain sufficient moisture to be compacted in accordance with the requirements of this subsection shall be sprinkled with water as directed by the Engineer to bring the moisture content to within the range needed to meet the density requirements.

	Scrap Tires - User Guideline - Embankment or Fill
		Embankments containing tire shreds or chips are constructed by completely surrounding the shreds or chips with a geotextile fabric and placing at least 0.9 m (3 ft) of natural soil between the top of the scrap tires and the roadway.
		Embankments present an excellent opportunity to utilize large volumes of scrap tires from one location and, under the proper logistical circumstances, can be a very economical alternative to imported earth borrow.
		However, the overall settlement or deflection of a tire chip embankment can be monitored over time by the installation of settlement plates or platforms, slope indicator devices, and bench marks along the slopes of the embankment and within or adjacent to the roadway.

	Victoria Embankment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Victoria Embankment, is part of the Thames Embankment, a road and walkway along the north bank of the River Thames in London.
		The Victoria Embankment (part of the A3211) starts at Westminster Bridge, just north of the Palace of Westminster, then follows the course of the river bank north, past Hungerford Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, and then ends at Blackfriars Bridge.
		Victoria Embankment was also the southern end of the Kingsway tramway subway.

	Coal Fly Ash - User Guideline - Embankment or Fill
		To prepare this type of fly ash for use as embankment material, the ash may need to be lightly conditioned with water (10 to 15 percent), stockpiled for several weeks, and passed through a crusher to remove agglomerations prior to its use as fill.
		It is, therefore, important that the base of a fly ash embankment not be exposed to free moisture, wetlands, or the presence of a high water table condition.
		For long-term stability of fly ash embankments, a factor of safety (ratio of the resisting forces to the driving forces along a potential failure surface) of 1.5 is recommended using the Swedish circle method of slope stability analysis.

	Plymouth, Embankment
		The Southern Embankment house was a little to the north of where the Plymouth and Dartmoor Railway crossed (it is now Embankment Lane) and there was a fourth just the Plymouth side of the Laira Bridge Toll Gate, on the old non-parochial boundary of the creek that had been reclaimed.
		Mr Debnam challenged this in court, where it was ruled that the road from the old toll house in St Jude's Road to the gate near the Laira Bridge was free for purposes of ordinary traffic.
		Plymouth Corporation purchased the Embankment Company in 1897 for the price of £22,500 but as the tolls collected made a profit of only £1,000 per year, it was not until 1924 that the collection of tolls was able to cease.

	Lake embankment erosion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The erosion cuts deep furrows in the embankment and deposits large amounts of mud on the road at the bottom of the embankment.
		This sand was moved to the edge of the embankment and in the process blocked the perimeter drain which carries rain water along the length of the lake to runoff drains down the slope of the embankment.
		It is important to note that in portions where the perimeter drain is not blocked, the mud embankment is undamaged and free this kind of erosion.

	Albert Embankment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Albert Embankment is on the east bank of the Thames and was created by Sir Joseph Bazalgette out of Fore Street, reclaimed land and numerous small timber and boat building yards.
		This embankment is one of three built by Bazelgette, the Victoria and Chelsea embankments being the other two.
		The main reason for building the embankment was to protect the low-lying areas of Lambeth from flooding during tides and heavy rain.

	The Embankment
		The Embankment is Westminster's river frontage downstream from Westminster Bridge, and it is arguably one of the world's most handsome riverscapes.
		Much of the present embankment is of recent construction, the Thames having been forced into a narrower channel to accommodate both the road and London Underground's District Line, constructed around 1870.
		Among the embankment's other features are the Victoria Embankment Gardens and Cleopatra's Needle, an Egyptian antiquity re-erected on the riverbank and claimed by some sources to represent the point from which all road distances to London are measured.

		The courage and determination of the people on the Yangtze river embankment cannot be questioned.
		There were many such hamlets and townships and invariably, wherever it was possible on the river embankment, narrow terraces were built in which to grow vegetables.

		Notwithstanding this, the bed of the Po tends continually to rise, and the waters of that river, contained by embankments, are seven, ten, and even seventeen feet above the level of the lands through which they flow.
		The rivers of Continental Italy that empty into the Adriatic Sea are divided into four groups: (a) the Po and its tributaries; (b) the Venetian rivers; (c) the rivers of the Romagna, and (d) the rivers of Istria, grouped on account of their special characteristics.
		Although the sources of some of these rivers are known, it is difficult to say where and how they empty into the sea; the Bacchiglione is a type of them.

		Einstein's idea is that without reference to the frame, there is no fixed time interval between two events, no 'actual' duration between them.
		Einstein illustrated his idea for two observers, one on a moving train in the middle of the train, and a second observer standing on the embankment next to the train tracks.
		If the observer sitting in the middle of the rapidly moving train receives signals simultaneously from lightning flashes at the front and back of the train, then in his reference frame the two lightning strikes were simultaneous.
