The method of stabilization is chosen based upon evaluation of the type of hazard involved, magnitude of the problem, potential triggering mechanisms, threat to life and cost. The primary focus of this paper is on the various engineering techniques to stabilize a site with minimal landform alteration. This discussion is not intended to replace professional site inspections or designs by engineering geologists and civil engineers.
The lateral pulldown, or lat pulldown for short, is a compound exercise that works the muscles of the back -- particularly the latissimus dorsi.Build this muscle to reap significant functional and aesthetic benefits for the back.ack Builder. The latissimus dorsi is a broad muscle that covers the back of your torso, below the arms and across the ribs. This muscle plays a role in shoulder and spine mobility. If you throw, twist, shrug or bend, you use your latissimus dorsi.
Also known as the âlat,â it is a very thin triangular muscle that is not used strenuously in common daily activities but is an important muscle in many exercises such as pull-ups, chin-ups, lat pulldowns, and swimming.he latissimus dorsi has several different functions, all of which involve movements of the arm. The primary function of the lat is the adduction of the arm, which is often used when performing a pull-up or chin-up or when pulling a heavy object down from a shelf above oneâs head.
