Dry, low porosity carbonate rocks with a wide range of texture al~d dolomite content were experimentally deformed at room temperature, strain rate of .0001/s, and cor~ining pressure of 0, 50 and lOOMPa, to evaluate the effects of texture and composition on ultimate strength and ductility. 804038 ELASTO-PLASTIC MODEL FOR UNDRAINED B ~ V I O U R OF HEAVILY OVERCONS~IDATED CLAYS. SHORT COMMUNICATION BanerJee, P K; Stipho, A S Int J Num Anal Meth Geomech, V3, N1, JanMarch 1979, P97-I03 Develops a model to predict the undrained responses of stiff clays. Predicted stress shrain relations are compared with results obtained in undrained triaxial tests. 804039 METHOD FC~ D~IS~RMINATION OF RELAXATION PARAMETERS FOR COALS LIABLE TO ROCK BURSTS FROM THEIR PETROGRAPHIC COMPOSITION (IN POLISH) Kidybinski, A; Hladysz, Z Gornictwo, VB, NS, 1979, P229-239 A more rapid method of determining these parameters has been developed, based on known relations between relaxation velocity and petrographic composition.

It was found that the results of compressive strength as determined by the Sclunidt rebound hargner could be used to predict the Los Angeles abrasion test results.
Physico-cbemical properties 8o~4z THERMAL DIFFUSIVITY IN SOLIDS Fanelli, M; Giuseppetti, G Int Water Pcwer Dam Constr, VBl, NS, May 1979,
P42-5o A technique is described, based on the finite element method, to determine the probable value of concrete bulk thermal diffusivity by measured temperatures at the ironer thermometers of a dam. Some examples are illustrated to test the accuracy of the method. The possibility of applying this procedure to identify other physical parameters is also discussed. Auth.

The linear coefficient of thermal expansion was found to deper~ on heating rate, crack porosity, thermal cyclimg, mineral composition amd grain orientation. Volume coefficients of expansion and temperature deperglemce of density are also calculated. 804047 PF~(ED TI~MOMAGNETIC CURVES FOR HEMATITEBEARING ROCKS AND CONCENTRATES Duff, B A l~nys Earth Planet Inter, V19, N3, July 1979,
