The second criterion was met due to the presence of confiningclay layers (vertical) and the clay kettle bottom and sides (vertical and horizontal) that severelyrestricted drainage of the sands in the site of investigation. The final criterion [29] was satisfiedonce the fill was placed and traffic load applied (Weber and Bredikhin 2010).

-book approach to teaching writing, theyhave the distinct advantage of being goal focused, which helps in convincing reluctantengineering students to put in the effort to improve. Universities as diverse as M.I.T.(Paradis and Zimmerman, 2002) and Curtin University in Australia (Grellier and Goerke,2010) have developed Writing Style Guides with a clear dependence on a genre-basedapproach to teaching communication skills. Grellier and Goerke (2010) go so far as to usethe metaphor of a tool as a way to emphasise how engineers will use unique document typesfor specific purposes. Contextual learning, and hence genre-oriented teaching of writing, isparticularly important for engineering students because they are characteristically practical-oriented
