partially closed cracks. It is concluded that under in situ (small strain) comditions, frictional attenuation becomes secondary to linear loss mechanisms. 804066 FIE-GRAINED COLLIERY DISCARD AND ITS SUSCEPTIBILITY TO LIQU~ACTION AND FLOW UNDER CYCLIC STRESS Taylar, R K; Morrell, G R Engng Geol, V14, ~ , Oct 1979, P219-229 Reports triaxial cyclic loading tests in which granular types are shown to be the most susceptible to liquefaction. The more plastic discards exhibit a slow build-up in pore-water pressure and gradual drop in effective stress with increasing shear strain. Plasticity iDdex is advOcated as a useful physical parameter in assessing the general liquefaction potential of sediments of this type. Obse~vatlons of mobile discards following liquefaction suggest that effective stress is the most important determlnant of apparent viscosity. 804067 COMI~SSIONAL AND SHEAR WAVE V~LOCITIES AT HIGH TEMPERATURE AND CONFINING PRESSURE IN BASALTS FROM THE FAEROE ISLANDs Ke~n, H; Richter, A Tectonophysies, V54, 1979, P231-252 804068 VARIATIONAL APPROACH TO ELASTIC WAVE PROPAGATION IN ANOMALOUS LAYERs Mainardi, F; Servlzi, G; Turchetti, G Geophys J R Astr Soc, V57, NI, April 1979,

Presents a classification system providing a quantitative appraisal of rock durability with special reference to tunmellir~, based on geomechamlcal studies comducted on the Karoo sedimentary rocks. The studies were carried out during construction of the OramgeFish Tunmel, Cape Province, South Africa. The new Geodt~ability Classification is based on different ratios of the unlaxlal compressive strength add the 'Duz~an' free swelling coefficient. The relevance of weathering behavlour to tunnelling in eo~pacted and weakly cemented rocks is emphasised. 804-073 METHOD OF THE IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF PYROCIASTIC SOIL DEPOSITS DUE TO HARDNESS Haruymna, M soils Found, V19, NI, March 1979, I~i-92 The method uses hardness, as measured by Yamanaka's hardness tester, to classify soils at 145 locations in southern Kyuahu, Japan. Carrelations between hardness, dry density, add water content are also given.

Examination of the nature, colour and quantity of the substances expelled frc~ the sample of o~ganic soil makes it possible to rationally determine the position of the soll in the Yon Post humlfication scale. The colour is determined with reference to the MUnsell colour scale. 804072 NEW ENGINEERING-GEOLOGICAL ROCK DURABILITY CLASSIFICATION Olivler, H J Eng~g Geol, V14, ~4, 0ct 1979, P255-279

Describes experiments at extremely low crack propagation velocities, implying extremely low stress values. Envlrommental factors such as htm~idity, presence of liquid, were also varied.
