This topography prescribed the logistics of the Confederate army and contributed towards its success - and occasional hindrance - to a significant extent.…

    • 3 Pages

Because your house rests on the foundation, this upward movement will damage the floor and nearby walls. The ceiling above the damaged walls will likely be affected as well. Upheavals almost always cause damage to both the house and its foundation, unless the entire foundation is lifted evenly by the same amount.…

    Mudboils In Tully Valley

    Discussion: Mudboils cause structural failures since they are suspensions of gravel, clay, silt and fine sand creating an unstable surface. Since the beginning of persistent mudboil activity in the 1970’s, natural landscapes and engineered features have become subject to land-subsidence as mudoils continually deteriorate the areas in their path (Tresohlavy 2003, pp. 27). Petroleum pipeline rerouting, telephone cable burials, and the collapse of bridges have demonstrated the true capabilities of mudboil persistence and destruction (Kappel & McPherson, 1998). These impacts have created a motive for truly solving the problems of mudboils within the Tully Valley. Portions of underground pipeline have become exposed due to the land subsidence issues…
