SERV.UCHL-TRANS. 10616-4,1972 , 24P. French nuclear ex]x~iments in a granite massif have produced cavities and associated chimneys due to rock collapse. The cavities are surrounded by concentric zones of crushed and fractured rock. Transformations of the rock medimn have been studied by means of boreholes which pass near the detonation point c~ are drilled to various parts of the cavity or chimney.

~ , R W Prediction of urzlerground nunlear explosion effects in Wagon Wheel sandstone. NUCL. TECHNOL.V15, N3,1972, P431-446. Project Wagon Wheel is a study to investigate the technical concept of nuclear stimulation of a natural gas reservoir located near Pinedale, Wyoming. The results are presented of computer calculations, simulating the explosion effects, based on equationof-state measurements of care samples taken from E1 Paso Natural Gas Wagon Wheel No:l hole at a depth between 8,000 to 12,000 ft. Cavity and chimney dimensions are predicted for a sir~Ele explosive detonated at a depth of 10,O00 ft. Auth.

Dhanbad, India, July 1972. 3F, 10R. THE INSTN.OF ENGRS.CALCUTYA, INDIA,1973,PSI-59. The method of finite element analysis for plane strain or a plane stress problem has been presented. Few solutions far typical contir~un mechanics problems (in the farm of plots of "yielding zone" or "tension" area) have been given to highlight the versatility of the method and its wide applicability in rock mechanics problems.

Bedrock motions are generated from a segment of the Golden Gate record amd are applied to a four-layer elastic finite element of a soil site. Three different finite element models are derived to represent a nuclear reactar structure, each reflecting a different degree of refinement. The results of the various analyses are compared and conclusions are drawn regardirg the necessity to include a refined model of soil/ structure interaction in seismic analyses. Auth.

SCI .VS,NS, SEF2-OCT. 1972, P562-507 • In the Dombass, bursts of sandstone into workimgs are confined to certain strata st great depths ar~ usually occur during blasting operations. They are observed mainly in the roofs and floors of the workings. The authc~ ass~nes that the main factc~s influe~irg the occurrence and course of a burst are the state of stress due to the weight of the rock and the action of the explosion pulse, and the physical properties of rocks. Rocks are considered as complex bodies possessing both elastic ard inelastic properties which after applying and removirg a sudden load are set into vibration. The problem is solved usirg the theory of vibration. The results give a solution for a mechanism for rockbursts in a working driven by blasting.
