extrusion loads can be controlled by varying the configuration of the die bore, and that theoretical analysis predicts extrusion loads of the different die bore configurations. An appendix by K.G.Hoge, entitled "Dynamic tests on rock bolts", is included. 1770 MCWILLIAM~, PC GOOCH, AE Ground support systems in block cave mining. A survey. Report .25F. US BUR .MINES, IC 8679,1975,46P. Ground support problems in four major block-cave mines were investigated to assess the state-of-the-art and to delineate areas for future research. 1771 VAN DUYSE, H Supporting the roadway-In French and Flemish. ANN.MINES BELG. NI2, DEC .1974,P1217-1249. This paper was presented at an EEC symposium in November 1973 and reviews progress at that time in the support of mine roadways, including the use of enhydrite or concrete lagging, gunitIn~, spraying concrete, bolting and reinforced concrete panels. The total time per metre of roadway required for the setting of different types of support is compared. Where geological conditions are favourable, strata bolting as practised in Lorraine is the quickest and cheapest method; such conditons are, however, rare. For roads subject to heavy rock pressures circular supports consisting of concrete arches or prefabricated concrete elements are most effective.
