815237 DYNAMIC CONSOLIDATION - DRAMATIC WAY TO STREND-
THEN SOIL
Ramaswas~, S D; Lee, S L; Dat~lah~ I U
Civ Emgr~, NY, %"51, N~, Al~il 19@1, F?0-73
Briefly discusses the technique of dyramic
consolidation with particttlar reference to its
use in Singapore on sites consisting of silty
clay, peaty clay ani dredged sand fill. Two
case sttrlies from the USA are also included.

815238 GROUND F',~'~,Z,TNG AIDS SWISS TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION
Aerml, K; Mettier, K
Turm %~,nnlg, VI3, NS, Al~il 1981, P52-53
Briefly relx~rts the use of ~rouni freezing in
pert of the Milchbuck Tuzmel ber~ath the city
of Zurich, Switzerland. The grouni consists of
interbedded marl ani se~lstons (freshwater
molasse) ani an area of well compacted moraine
with inclusions of non-cohesive silty sard
material amd the presence of sc~e water unier
an artesian ~essm~e of up to 3 bar. Freezing
was used to stabillse the moraine section.

tion for evaluation of rock masses in the follow-

of the site, (2) the mass anl material properties
of the ore deposit a~d vicinity, (3) the ground-

STONES OF NE ENGLAND
Dearman, W R; Coffey, J R
Q J Engng Geol, VI4, NI, 1981, P4!-57
The staniard stratigraphical divisions are
reviewed and reinterpreted as emgimeerimg types
in a classification related to emgineerimg
requirements. Based on this classification a
map of engineering geological zor~tion has
been prepared ~t an original scale of i :50000.
The gemeral engineering geological characteris-
tics of each zonel unit are described, in
relation to emgineering construction.

815242 FILTERING PROBE INCLINOMETER DATA TO II~ENTIFY
CHARACTERISTICS OF SLOPE MOVEMENT
Kalkani, E C
Rock Mech, VI3, N2, Nov 1980, P57-69
Examines inclinometer readings for syster~tic
ard random errors. Presents a mathematical
theory to reduce random errors in probe inclino-
meter data. The reduced magnitudes of displacement
compared favourably with surveyed movements.
815243 CAUSES OF SAMPLING DISTURBANCE AND DESIGN OF A
NEW SAMPLER FOR SENSITIVE SOILS
La Rochelle, P; Sarrailh, J; Tavenas, F
Can Geotech J, VI8, NI, Feb 1961, P52-66
Discusses the influence of sampling disturbance
on the ~roperties of sensitive clays. Analyses
the different factors causing sample disturbance
in order to establish the primciples on which
a good quality sampler should be designed.
Describes a large diameter sampler which uses the
overcoring technique to elimlmte suction and to
ensure the r e c ~ of large samples without
a piston, and evaluates its Perfcrm~e.

radioactive, electrical, magnetic and mechanical.
Discusses for each log the qualitative ani
quantitative results, different types of ~robe,
uses and l~oblems of the log, ar~ an cIItline of
the background knowledge necessary for the full
use of the log. 67 refs.
