To simplify this, particles of aggregate may be considered to be suspended in the homogeneous cement. The design of the slab on grade is engineered by the structural engineer. The boldly flavored mixture is a perfect match for chicken, but that’s where I use it least, instead opting to put it on a thick slab of salmon or slather it on vegetables before roasting. The phrasing makes it sound like technical term. The carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, they’re all saying that subducting slabs are able to transport carbon and similar elements to a similar depth in the mantle. In very rare cases, specially-treated lumber, which is resistant to decay and termites, may be used. Although the technique was a unique system of construction and resulted in several successful, stable and long lasting structures, the lack of proper safety procedures resulted in the total loss of this construction technique. The advantage of this system is obvious, time, money and the expediency and ease of placing concrete slabs at grade elevation. 1595–1605; apparently
