Decline in flux as a result of applied pressure compressing a reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration membrane
Compression of the soil such that it is difficult to plough, and water cannot drain through it effectively
The process of consolidating soil by mechanical means, such as tractor wheels, the act or process of becoming compact Involves an increase in bulk density
(n ) The act of packing onto a disk as much memory as possible into as small a space as possible
Decrease in volume of soil and sediment as a result of compressive stress, continued deposition above them, but also from drying, use of heavy equipment, and other causes
Densification of soil by mechanical means, involving the expulsion of excess air
Process of mechanically densifying a soil, normally by the application of a moving (or dynamic) load
means increasing the density of a material by reducing the voids between the particles and is generally accomplished by controlled placement and mechanical effort such as from repeated application of wheel, track, or roller loads from heavy equipment
The packing together of soil particles by forces exerted at the soil surface, resulting in increased soil density
Whenever extra soil is added to a lot to fill in low places or to raise the level of the lot, the added soil is often too loose and soft to sustain the weight of the buildings Therefore, it is necessary to compact the added soil so that it will carry the weight of buildings without the danger of their tilting, settling or cracking
Industrial technique which consists in crushing materials using a press in order to reduce their volume to various degrees
Process of reallocating storage locations assigned to a file to eliminate empty storage locations
