New Pressure Test Design

In previous trials a small ledge was made at the top of the slope to create a place to place bricks, like so:

This structure is actually very stable and shows little changes, so the group decided to try another form of test test slope:

Not only is there more immediate change, bu the measurements are slightly easier, though there are more. The bricks are placed on the slop and allowed to shift the soil downward. measurements are taken before the placement, immediately after the placement and 30 mins after placement. This test is still in the trial stage, so moving forward it may or may not be the standard.
