	Pile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Piles are used when the soil near the ground surface is not strong and the weight of the building must be carried by deeper soil layers.
		Prefabricated piles are driven into the ground using a hydraulic hammer, a vibrator or a diesel pile driving rig supported on a drag line excavator.
		Sheet piling is a form of driven piling using thin interlocking sheets of steel to obtain a continuous barrier in the ground.

	pile. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Precast piles are made of concrete reinforced with steel bars looped one to the other and are tipped and topped with protective steel when driven into the ground.
		The steel is not needed when the piles are set by the force of jets of water; in this method an iron pipe is set in the center of the pile, and water under pressure is sent down to wash away the sand, silt, or soft earth that it is to displace.
		Pilings are driven into the ground by pile drivers using drop hammers, diesel hammers, steam hammers, or compressed-air hammers.

	Huge toxic pile by river to be moved \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		A 10-million-ton pile of radioactive waste that has been polluting the Colorado River for decades will be moved under a plan announced yesterday by the U.S. Department of Energy.
		Moving the pile is expected to cost $329 million to $464 million, while capping it would have cost $166 million.
		The pile of tailings, or residue, is from one of the nation's largest uranium processing plants, which opened near Moab in 1956.

	The First Nuclear Chain Reaction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		During the construction of this crude appearing but complex pile (the name which has since been applied to all such devices) the standing joke among the scientists working on it was: "If people could see what we're doing with a million-and-a-half of their dollars, they'd think we are crazy.
		The pile itself was constructed of uranium, a material that is embedded in a matrix of graphite.
		The last rod left in the pile, which acted as starter, accelerator and brake for the reaction, was the one handled by Weil.

	High strain dynamic pile testing - Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA)
		The data is used to evaluate the bearing capacity and the structural integrity of the pile as well as hammer performance, pile stresses and soil characteristics, such as soil damping coefficients and quake values.
		Pile integrity, which is accurately evaluated on site, would allow the engineer to accept or reject the pile immediately.
		Random testing of installed piles would also provide the design engineers/contractors/client a measure of confidence in the foundation, as he would probably not be at the site all the time to witness the pile installation.

	On "The Wood-Pile"
		The cutting and splitting and piling refer us simultaneously to the fact of the pile of wood and to that process by which it came to be.
		The "tuft of flowers" was left as a kind of signature, a greeting and communication; the pile of wood was simply forgotten by the man who cut and carefully stacked it, as he went on to the distractions of other things.
		The thought that "someone" who abandoned this pile of wood must be one who "lived in turning to fresh tasks," is certainly uncontroversial and hardly provocative of further speculation.

	Getting Moisture Into The Compost Pile
		Afterwards, a large amount of water is lost by evaporation due to the heat generated, air movement, turning, and exposure at the pile surface.
		Although it may surprise some composters in northern climates struggling with too much moisture, keeping windrows and piles moist enough is one of the biggest challenges that many compost operators face.
		One approach is to form existing piles into a U-shaped bed and dump wet material in the center.

	Electrochemistry Encyclopedia --- Volta and the "Pile"
		The main advantages are that the Pile gives a steady-state current (he mentioned, clearly exaggerating, a "perpetuous flow"), does not need to be previously charged and keeps its "charge", ready to use, for a long time.
		In reality, the original Pile invented by Volta had some practical inconveniencies, for example, the frequent "short-circuits" between elements stacked in series due to the electrolyte spillages from the disks providing a bypass route for the current, and the hydrogen bubbles formed at the cathodes, all affecting the tension of the Pile under operation.
		One problem of this Pile was the gas accumulation at the cathode, considered initially to be responsible for the cell "polarization" (i.e.

	Low strain dynamic pile testing - Pile Integrity Testing (PIT)
		The accelerometer is attached to the top of the pile, and then a compressive wave is generated by tapping the pile head with a hammer.
		The velocity recorded along with the subsequent reflections from the pile toe or pile discontinuities are graphically displayed.
		The effectiveness of the system is limited to a pile length not exceeding 30 to 60 pile diameters depending on soil condition and concrete quality.

	Troubleshooting The Compost Pile
		One of the most common problems is the failure of the pile to heat, that is to reach thermophilic temperatures (greater than 110°).
		A poorly mixed pile that has hot and cold spots is still going to have problems with survival of pathogens and weed seeds.
		Piles fail to heat for two reasons — there is either too little biological activity, or the heat generated by biological activity is lost as fast as it is produced.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Metro -- Feds urged to move radioactive waste pile
		Three of the four largest water agencies in the region have insisted that the waste pile be moved from the banks of the Colorado in southeastern Utah.
		The final – and cheapest – alternative is to leave the pile by the river, covered by a layer of impermeable clay and ringed by rocks to prevent erosion by the river.
		But beyond the daily polluting, which could continue for centuries if the pile is not moved, proponents of moving the pile question what happens if the whole mess is washed into the river by a flood.

	LBT Enterprises Ltd.
		The Raymond Pile, originally installed in the early 1940's, has a 3/8" thick shell with 1" rebar and concrete filled.
		Each pile had to be cut twice; once approximately 24 inches below the deck and then again at the mud level, about 15 to 18 feet underwater.
		By using a small float, the pile was cut under the deck with a 16" PCPC in a matter of a few minutes with the General Contractor's crew.

	Getting Out of the Slush Pile
		Every other manuscript I read in the slush pile includes the statement that the children of the author loved it, or that he read it "to an entire class of fifth graders and they wanted to hear more" or that she showed it to a local librarian who thought that it should be published.
		Looking more closely at the pile, certain kinds of manuscripts are both all too common and not what publishers of the kind I've worked for want anyway.
		If your manuscripts are going into the slush pile, they are often sitting for months before they are read, and when they are, you may only get a form response.

	Ralf's Sudelbücher : Building an associative (data)base - or: The Pile thinking applied
		Ok, finally - after another digression on Pile fundamentals (and I guess, more needs to be said, but not right now) - I´ll quickly describe my prototype implementation of a Pile engine as well as a Pile agent/client to use it for searching in plain text files.
		Most of the methods of the Pile engine, though, are very thin and just more of less delegate their work to the Pile space engine.
		The text you get back is generated from the associtations in the Pile like a picture in a computer game is generated from an internal model of the game´s world.

	Ralf's Sudelbücher : The Original Pile Engine Demystified
		If you´ve followed my postings on associative/relationalistic approaches to information representation and were interested in implementations of the Pile concepts (see [1] and [2] for words from the horse´s mouth) you might also have stumbled across a C implementation of a so called Pile Engine at the sourceforge site of the project.
		IMHO a Pile relation is a specific Lisp list and Pile data is either an atom or an atom bound to a list (a named realtion).
		But, and here is my central thougt on this topic, Pile can not introduce new thinking paradigmas or even new knowlede to the field of data representation, because this research has already been done in the 60s by the Lisp people.

	Create Your Own Compost Pile \| GreenScapes \| U.S. EPA
		Backyard and indoor composting are most suitable for households to convert small quantities of organic materials, such as yard trimmings and food scraps, into compost that can be spread in garden beds, under shrubs, or use it as potting soil for outdoor plants.
		Ideally, your compost pile should have an equal amount of browns to greens and alternate layers of organic materials of different-size particles.
		Once your compost pile is established, mix grass clippings and green waste into the pile and bury fruit and vegetable waste under 10 inches of compost material.

	THE BRUSH-PILE DOG (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Likely as not, the accumulated brush was pushed aside into earth-encrusted ‘dozer piles or loosely gathered into haphazard heaps and left to dot the edges of cleared fields.
		Of course, brush piles, in addition to affording rest and recuperation, also function as relay stations where a flagging bunny can occasionally escape pursuit by ducking into a scent-rich environment that allows the hounds to become distracted by the fresh scent of new game.
		A collar can easily become snagged on a limb or other obstruction trapping the hound beneath the pile, and some piles are so massive that a tractor, bulldozer or other equipment might be needed to remove cover material barring access to the hound.
