Comments
Did 5 compression tests : Easy results of a Progressive Compression Character down 20 cm on small surface hoar. Moderate x1 and Hard x 4 results down 60 cm Sudden Collapse in facets. Propagation saw test x 3 - one 25cm to end and two 30cm slab fractures. No question that there is a weak layer: it is the slab above this that is making things so variable!
