DETERMINATION OF COHESION STRENGTH OF NYC MATERIALS

To determine the cohesion strength of NYC materials, do the following:
  1. Click on the button labeled 'P" and print out the Cohesion Strength Answer Form (printout #Q-8).
  2. Scroll down to the Cohesion Determination Table. Click a button on the NYC Geologic Materials List.
  3. Roll over the blue buttons on the Grain Relationships list until you find an image and a statement that match the geologic material you have chosen.
  1. On the printout, record the grain relationship of the geologic material and its cohesion strength in the indicated spaces. (Consult your Grain Relationship - Cohesion Strength Form printout (#Q-7) for the strength of the different grain relationships.)
  2. Repeat steps 2 to 4 until you have matched up all the NYC geologic materials with their grain relationships and cohesion strengths.
  3. Click on the red button and go to the Answer Checking Table and make sure your answers are correct.
