Slope Stability In this laboratory project‚ I practiced analyzing highway embankment using GeoStudio 2012. A highway embankment is built in order to avoid the change in level. In this model‚ the embankment was constructed on a layer of soft clay and I needed to use GeoStudio 2012 to determine the location of the critical slip surface and the factor of safety. There are basically eight steps to analyze a new model using GeoStudio 2012. First is to start a new project‚ then‚ set the analysis options

project is about how careers are using math in everyday life. My project is on slopes and I decided to do a pilot. Slope is a line that is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line‚ slope is usually denoted by the letter m. I picked a pilot because it seemed the most interesting to me. I’m going to be explaining how‚ what‚ when‚ and where pilots use sloping and other skills. Pilots use slope to determine where to land and when to put the wheels down. Being a pilot is

Colleen Byrne Mrs McQuoid Argument essay 11/25/15 William B. Yeats wrote that “Education is not filling a bucket‚ but lighting a fire.” Those words are a perfect description of the education system today. Education is no more than “filling the bucket” of a child’s mind. Which basically implies that education is just facts and memorization. Grades nowadays are seen as the most important thing.

This week‚ the topic of discussion was on William Rowe’s argument on if evil exists or not. I believe that evil does exist. It is not a religious thing‚ I guess for me‚ it’s a morals thing.
