Protective systems are methods of protecting workers from cave-ins of material that can fall or roll into an excavation, or from the collapse of nearby structures. As mentioned in earlier chapters, if an excavation is less than 5 feet deep, OSHA does not require a protective systems unless the competent person sees signs of a potential cave-in. (It is important to remember that a wall collapse in a trench four and 1/2 feet deep can still have serious results!) For trenches between 5 feet and 20 feet deep, shoring and sheeting, shielding, sloping and benching are all acceptable protective measures. It is up to the planners of the construction project and the competent person on site to determine which systems will work best. If an excavation is greater than 20 feet deep, a registered professional engineer must design the protective system.

Shoring systems are structures of timber, mechanical, or hydraulic systems that support the sides of an excavation and which are designed to prevent cave-ins.Sheeting is a type of shoring system that keeps the earth in position. It can be driven into the ground or work in conjunction with a shoring system. Driven sheeting is most frequently used for excavations open for long periods of time. Another type of sheeting, in which plates or shoring grade plywood (sometimes called Finland form) is used in conjunction with strutted systems such as hydraulic or timber shoring. These strutted systems are also referred to as active systems. The most frequently used strutted system involves aluminum hydraulic shoreswhich are lightweight, re-usable and installed and removed completely from above

A theory of how consumers decide what to buy
Andrei [34K]
1)The lifestyle of a consumer will influence on his behavior and purchasing decisions. For example, a consumer with a healthy and balanced lifestyle will prefer to eat organic products and go to specific grocery stores, will do some jogging regularly (and therefore will buy shoes, clothes and specific products),

2)Cultural trends or “Bandwagon effect” are defined as trends widely followed by people and which are amplified by their mere popularity and by conformity or compliance with social pressure. The more people follow a trend, the more others will want to follow it.



3)The membership groups of an individual are social groups to which he belongs and which will influence him. The membership groups are usually related to its social origin, age, place of residence, work, hobbies, leisure, etc..

Zolol [24]

Answer: Here's all the land pieces I know

Louisiana Purchase: Sold by Napoleon to the US in 1803

Flordia: The Adam-Onis Treaty seceded Florida the US

CA, NV, UT, AZ: Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican-American war and these territories are called the Mexican cession.

Texas: (kinda complicated) Texas won its own independence and became the Lone Star state. Because of slave issues they did not admit Texas for a number of years. The Mexcian-American war did secure a lot of these lands

Oregon Territory: This land was previously co-ruled by Britsh and the US. They wanted this to end so they divided the land in half at the 49th parallel. President Polk tried to push for more land but was rejected.

Gadsden Purchase: Last purchase of land until Alaska or Hawaii. Bought from the Mexican government to build an easier railroad route (avoid tunning through the Rocky Mountains). This is a small portion of land below New Mexico.
