*old heave-ho

the act of throwing someone out; the act of firing someone. (From nautical use, where sailors used heave-ho to coordinate hard physical labor.

Also, get the boot or bounce or can or heave-ho or hook or sack . Be discharged or fired, expelled, or rejected. For example, He got the ax at the end of the first week, or The manager was stunned when he got the boot himself, or We got the bounce in the first quarter, or The pitcher got the hook after one inning, or Bill finally gave his brother-in-law the sack. All but the last of these slangy expressions date from the 1870s and 1880s. They all have variations using give that mean "to fire or expel someone," as in Are they giving Ruth the ax?Get the ax alludes to the executioner's ax, and get the boot to literally booting or kicking someone out. Get the bounce alludes to being bounced out; get the can comes from the verb can, "to dismiss," perhaps alluding to being sealed in a container; get the heave-ho alludes to heave in the sense of lifting someone bodily, and get the hook is an allusion to a fishing hook. Get the sack, first recorded in 1825, probably came from French though it existed in Middle Dutch.

In the first expression, which dates from about 1920, giving air presumably alludes to being blown out. The second, from the first half of the 1900s, alludes to brushing away dust or lint. The third, from about 1900, uses gate in the sense of "an exit." The fourth alludes to the act of heaving a person out, and is sometimes used to mean "to fire someone from a job" (see get the ax). All these are colloquialisms, and all have variations using get, get the air (etc.), meaning "to be snubbed or told to leave," as in After he got the brush off, he didn't know what to do.

Moreover, in order to verify the reliability of the improved frost heave experiment apparatus, several groups of tests were carried out in comparison with the traditional frost heave experiment apparatus. Specifically, the laboratory tests on one-dimensional frost heave were carried out by the traditional experiment apparatus and the improved experiment apparatus, respectively, under the conditions of the same soil sample (clay content 45%), the same test factor index (compactness 95%, overlying load 20 kPa), and the same cooling environment. The reason is considered as follows: besides the reason that the initial moisture content increases with the increase of the saturation, the volume of the soil pore decreases with the increase of the saturation, and the pore is more easily filled with frozen ice, which is more likely to cause the frost heave displacement of the soil particles. Experimental Research on Frost Heave Characteristics of Gravel Soil and Multifactor Regression Prediction The white Gaussian noise is also in the form of narrowband noise in the heave information because of the output with a range of sampling frequency. However, some of frequency of the noise is the same as frequency of heave motion. According to Section 2, it is important to design the filter to get the heave information. However, the heave motion is composed of some sine waves. Heave Motion Measurement by Adaptive Filter Based on Longuet-Higgins Wave Model Silty and loamy types of soils may be susceptible to frost heave while clay, clean sand and gravel are not. Lines buried below the frost line are less susceptible to the effect of frost heave since the earth movement typically occurs above the frost line. The ability of a pipeline to with-stand high longitudinal stress or strain may affect its likelihood for failure due to frost heave. These factors indicate failure due to frost heave and the presence of other conditions, perhaps related to how the pipeline was installed, could represent probable interacting threat circumstances. Cold weather can play havoc on natural gas systems People who live in the Southern Gulf States and on the Pacific Coast, where frost rarely penetrates the soil more than an inch or two, don't need to worry about frost heaves. But the rest of us would live in topsy-turvy neighborhoods if builders didn't design homes to prevent frost heaving in the first place. To prevent frost heaves, the easiest and least costly solution is to plan in advance for good drainage away from walks, patios, garages, decks and other floating structures (Fig. Solidly packed soil, mounded at the top, will keep water from saturating the soil around the footing and causing potential heaves. It's tempting to fill the hole with sand or gravel, thinking you'll provide good drainage that way. Stopping frost heave
