NG01 | 12 | 12 | 1.75 | 108 | 63 | 70,560 |
OB02 | 14 | 12 | 1.50 | 126 | 62 | 69,440 |
Means | 16 | 14 | 1.72 | 168 | 106 | 118,720 |
aTruncated cone volume (π × h × [R2 + r2 + R × r]/3) multiplied by .80 as sand, roots, etcetera in the tested mounds make up approximately 20% of the matrix.
bBased on an air-cooled iron slag weight of 1120 kg/m3 [cf. 56].
