offsetting

The use of one thing to offset another; the practice of compensating for or counterbalancing one thing or amount by another contrary thing or amount

Such offsettings tend to reduce the variations of the aggregate.

But in the absence of a perfect equilibrium i.e. some countries developing over-all deficits and others over-all surpluses, the circular offsettings will have only a limited function to perform.

The act or process of offsetting or displacing; displacement.

It is rarely the case that one can actually place hands on the contact of faulted beds, and the displacement is usually indicated by an offsetting of outcrops or the abrupt termination of beds along their strike.

Offsetting is closely related with sweeping. For example, the constant radius offsetting of a planar curve can be given as the boundary curve of the sweep region of a circle moving along the curve.

The amount by which something is offset or displaced; an offset or displacement.

After a thorough examination it showed that the structure was very poor, the channel changed its profile regularly (i.e. egg-shaped, circular, arch shaped) and also showed several vertcal ledges with axis offsettings of up to 0.5 m. .

A more unfavorable influence can be brought to linings by the shift of the surface loading when its offsetting is smaller than 30 m in the case.
