Rafal Piotrowski Aug 13, 2014:
Then, I shall remove my suggestion. Thx everyone :)
Radica (asker) Aug 13, 2014:
the text describes natural process, elements that are to be removed before the construction of new building
Rafal Piotrowski Aug 13, 2014:
Daryo - I understood that part, rest assured. Still, in construction, it is more likely to be called "aggregate" rather than "debris". If we were to be dead exact, we should be speaking of "(naturally formed) debris that was later used as aggregate". Hope you're OK with that.
Daryo Aug 13, 2014:
the whole ST might be about a construction project, but
"krečnjačka drobina, nastala drobljenjem stena na padinama"
leaves no doubts - that part is about a natural process.
Rafal Piotrowski Aug 13, 2014:
If this is only a geological, natural process (e.g. due to weathering), then Natasa is 99% right. If crushing is a deliberate, industrial process, then I believe that my suggestion seems more logical :)
Natasa Stankovic Aug 13, 2014:
Da, „debris“ (limestone debris) kao što sam i predložila (istovremeno sa ovim vašim dopunskim pitanjem), a u Vukičevićevom Građevinskom rečniku piše i ovo: drobina (geol.) - debris, dettritus, scree, gruss.

limestone debris?

debris

- Do sada su se građevinski objeki štitili od podzemnih voda izradom drenaža ispunjenih prirodnim mineralnim tvorevinama kao što su pesak, šljunak, kamena drobina, lomljen kamen, itd. U novije vreme se drenažne ispune rade od sintetičkih plastičnih materijala.
- Until nowadays, the facilities in question have been protected from ground waters by drainages made of natural mineral materials such as sand, gravel, stone debris, crushed stone, etc. In the recent time, the drainage infillings are made of synthetic plastic materials.

The upper "fossiliferous fissure fills" contain clay in addition to limestone debris that has yielded assemblages of partially pyritized organic material including peat, seeds, tree trunks, ostrocods, mammalian bones and freshwater molluscs.

The source of the lime is a bit of a mystery; it may derive from a significant proportion of limestone debris within the glacial till, or alternatively from bands of limestone and calcareous mudstone within the main shale succession.

Peer comment(s):

agree Rafal Piotrowski : Yes, as long as the process is natural :)

Hvala!
agree Daryo : "... nastala drobljenjem stena na padinama" it is natural, not man-made; BTW the whole "pile/flow of stone debris" is called a "scree"

Hvala!
Something went wrong...
