California bearing ratio measures the strength of components of these structures, which can include “base,” “binder,” and “wearing” courses above a subbase and subgrade. These structures contribute to habitat fragmentation (20[1])via their namesake (20[1])“barrier (20[2])effect.” (20[8])Adhesion to these structures is augmented by including 50-percent sand (20[1])or pre-wetting with pickle (*) juice. Wildlife crossings are mainly built (10[1])to prevent (10[2])animals (10[1])from being killed (10[4])on these (10[1])structures.
