resist impact. Due to traffic loads‚ the road stones are subjectedto the pounding action or impact and there is possibility of stones breaking into smaller pieces. The roadstones should therefore be tough enough to resist fracture under impact. A test designed to evaluate thetoughness of stone i.e.‚ the resistance of the stones to fracture under repeated impacts may be called animpact test for road stones Impact test may either be carried out on cylindrical stone specimens as in Page Impact test

Environmental impact assessment is a formal process used to predict the environmental results‚ both negative and positive of a plan‚ policies‚ and programs‚ it propose measures to adjust impacts to acceptable levels or to investigate new technological solutions. Although an assessment may lead to difficult economic decisions and political and social concerns‚ environmental impact assessment protect the environment by providing the basis for effective and sustainable development.

Crater Design Experiment Aim: To see how the height in which the ball is dropped from affects the depth of the crater. Hypothesis: I predict that as the height in which the ball is dropped from increases‚ so does the depth of the crater (the data will be directly proportional). The scientific knowledge which supports this is that the golf ball has a gravitational potential energy which increases as the ball is dropped from higher heights. When the height increases the ball gains more gravitational

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) Introduction EIA is an important tool for incorporating environmental concerns at the project level. EIA should be carried out as early as the project planning stage as part of feasibility thus it can assure that the project will be environmentally feasible. The general objectives of the EIA study are to provide; (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) baseline information about the environmental‚ social‚ and economic conditions in the project area; information on potential impacts of

Change is unique to each and every one of us and does not impact on each person equally. It is an extremely common thing and it affects our lives differently with everything we say and do. This idea about change is central in the texts ‚ "Out Out" by Robert frost ‚ "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost‚ and the image "Moment of impact" photographed by Spencer Platt. These texts explore the idea that change does not impact on each person equally‚ the change that an individual makes shapes their future

1 tourism impacts The impacts of tourism can be sorted into seven general categories: 1. Economic 2. Environmental 3. Social and cultural 4. Crowding and congestion 5. Services 6. Taxes 7. Community attitude Each category includes positive and negative impacts. Not all impacts are applicable to every community because conditions or resources differ. Community and tourism leaders must balance an array of impacts that may either improve or negatively affect communities and their residents

The impact toughness (AKA Impact strength) of a material can be determined with a Charpy or Izod test. These tests are named after their inventors and were developed in the early 1900’s before fracture mechanics theory was available. Impact properties are not directly used in fracture mechanics calculations‚ but the economical impact tests continue to be used as a quality control method to assess notch sensitivity and for comparing the relative toughness of engineering materials. The two tests use

Mechanical Testing: Impact and Hardness Testing ME-3701-02 3rd March 2009 Ke Chen Abstract This experiment‚ as may be derived from the title‚ involves testing multiple metallic specimens to determine their toughness‚ strength and hardness. The three tests used to determine these characteristics are called the Charpy Impact test‚ tensile strength test and Rockwell Hardness test. As stated by www.key-to-steel.com {1}‚ “Charpy impact test method for metallic materials is specified by European
