P285-3o5 Describes how the compliance of a Joint can be Incc~p~rated into the compliance of a Joint set which, together with other Joint set compliamces and the compliance of the intact rock, forms the compliance of the Jointed rock mass. It is then shown that in an amalagoua way the stiffness of a reinforced Jointed rock mass, cont a i n i ~ sets of fully grouted bars or cables, is given by t h e s ~ of t h e stiffness of t h e ~ointed rock mass a~i each of the sets of relnforce~ent. Examples of the compliance matrices fc~ Jointed rock masses of particular interest are given, eg orthogonal Joint sets. A method of i~creasi~g the stiffness of a Jointed rock mass as a result of insertion of sets of reinforcement is then discussed. 83200~ IN SI~J STRESS DETERMINATION BY IOWA S I ' ~ ~AZE Hamdy, R L; Remm~s, B; Moldt, S J Geotech Engng Div ASCE, V108, N~TI1, Nov
1962, Plh-OS-lh.22 Lateral soil pressure is very sensitive to disturbance: a step-tapered blade was developed to campensate for this disturbance by -~asuring soil pressures on 3 thicknesses of blades s~d extrapolating for t h e hypothetical ~essure at zero blade thickness. The nature of the extrapolation was fomxl to be exponential, with the slope related to the soil comI~ession iDdex. In sltu stresses measured in flne-graimed soils were found to agree with s t r e s s e s f r c ~ o w ~ b u r d e n ;~'esluresj elastic the(~,,"y~ azld l:~'essuremeters. M e a ~ e d lateral stress ratios were found to be in the acceptable range of 0.~-1.5, in ~atural soil deposits. The stepped-blade method was deemed not suitable for dense sa~Is.
