Plastic limit A simple test established by hand rolling a sample of soil on a flat, non-porous sur­ face. An important factor is that the component must always be undersized to allow for the joint, which is sized by the obtainable degree of tolerance and site assembly. The objective is to preserve the character and appearance of specific buildings that would otherwise be altered or spoilt by applying contemporary energy effi­ ciency requirements.

Chudley and Greeno’s Building Construction Handbook is the essential, easy-to-use resource for undergraduate and vocational students on a wide range of courses including NVQ and BTEC National, through to Higher National Certificate and Diploma, to Foundation and three-year Degree level.The method of extraction disturbs the natural structure of the subsoil but such samples are suit­ able for visual grading, establishing the moisture content and some laboratory tests. That is largely down to the hard graft and keen eye for detail that Roger Greeno has brought to his work on the book during his tenure as lead author. Before cutting down, uprooting, severing roots, topping off, lopping, damaging or destroying a tree, a formal application must be submitted to the LPA for consent.
