HARTUNG, G UNIV.MUNICH, D The amgular dam:- A att~LV of a new farm of dam; ll Congress of Large Dams, Madrid 1973. 6F. ii CONGRESS ON LARGE DAMS, PAPER Q43,R.2,1973,gP. Concepts for a dam with angular cross-section are describedv The basic principle of an angular dam is a berzling resistive argular frame,- Special characteristics are as follows: i. Simple construction and utilization of the working load water to stabilize the s t r u c t u r e , - The most r~m~kable advantage is the Possibility to erect a concrete dam on a sand or gravel foundation. Comparison of a discounting technique between an earth fill dam amd an a t t a r dam for the idealized ring farm of an upper reservoir are presented;

The failure of a 90 ft." high u n d ~ a t e r slope is used to assess the accuracy of conventional laboratory field vane shear tests for measuring the undrained stremgth of a nc~mally consolidated clay. Empirical connections for measured strengths are recomnended; 601 BOWER, JE US ~ RES.LAB.PA.USA Predicted pullout strength of sheet-piling interlocks, ~FjIT sSR. J. SOIL MECH.

Proc. Symposium on Rock Mech. Dhanbsd, India, July 1972. 4F, 3~. T}~ I NSTN. OF ENGRS. CALCUTTA, INDIA, 1973, P150-155. The method of stability analysis is c ~ l e d ouh in four steps: 1. Collection of geological data; 2. Preparation of the geotechnical model of the rock volume likely to separate and slide; 3. Determination of the magnltmde of various forces acting on the rock and its mode of displacements related to the direction of the resultant farce; 4. Evaluation of the shearing stresses and shearing resistances along the sliding surfaces to evaluate the safety factar. The armlysis assumes that the rock mass is competent amd movements occur exclusively along the discontimAity planes and that the rock mass does not uni~rgo any berdlng deformations~. Cohesion anl tensile strergths do not exist along the discontinaity planes, and the shear resistance along them is only frictional. The procedure gives a conservative estimate of the stability of rock slopes and excavations and the assumptions made can be accepted provided that the geological data are carefully examined. 6O7 DE FHEITAS~ MH IMPER.

Toppling failure in the slopes of hard rock masses is a mode of movement that has only been described in the last f~w years; Much of the wQrk that has appeared in the literature to d~te deals with the develolm~nt of its mo~e in models.
