Dimensionless and finite element studies of the problem are presented. Existing shallow anchor theories over-estimate the ultimate uplift resistances observed in model tests. 781197 MINING DRIFTS AND TUNNELS: RoLL OF ROCKBOLTING AND PARAMETERS IN ITS SELECTION Dejean, M; RaJ~foux, J F Paper to Tunnelling '76 conference, London, 1-5 March, 1976, P921-327, disc P358-366 The role and use of rock-bolting, both in mining and civil engineering are considered. Details are given of rock-bolting parameters, choice criteria and methods of investigation being outlined. Information is given with regar( to the length, dismleter and type of bolt, type of anchorage and pattern density. Precautions necessary in the installation of rock-bolts are s ~ i z e d .

The installation of a drainage system such as stone coltmms offers an economical method of stabilising an otherwise potentially liquefiable sand deposit. The paper presents a simplified theory that provides a method of evaluating the possible effectiveness of grain drain systems in such cases. Charts suitable for use in design are presented.

Soil compaction
Problems related to geoiogythatmight be encountered with full face boring machines are reviewed and investigations which lead to a better geomechanical knowledge of tunnel sites are presented. The diamond drilling programme and the aspects which need t o b e stressed in the reports are discussed. The laboratory testing progranme includes splitting tests, uniaxial and triaxial compression tests, end modified Handewith punching tests. In situ testing progranme comprises Menardpressiopermeameter tests, Goodman jack tests, and borehole punching tests performed with an apparatus developed at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal. The use by the design engineers of the investigation results of such investigations is discussed and a typical case is presented.
