The Bureau of Mines conducted groove cutting experiments in marble, limestone, granite, and quartzite with a 7-inch disc cutter under a nc~u~l thrust of 7,0001b. The values of muck weight per unit length, apeclfic effigy, cutting coefficient, and groove depth for each of these rocks were determined for groove spacings ramglng from 0.i to 4 inches, ar~ from these results the values of optimm~ ard critical sl~cing were computed. The results indicate that compressive strength may be used to prellct some of the cutting characteristics of the indepe~e~t grooves. Considering all the cutting characteristics, particularly those for the interac~i~ grooves, Shore hardness, coefficient of rock s ~ r e ~ , ~ tursion~l velocity ccrrelEte with cuttimg characteristics better than do other physical ~roperties;

US. BUR.MINES, RI, N.7882,1RT~, 40P. The Bureau of Mines used a linear cutting apparatus equipped with a 7-inch disc cutter to cut grooves in marble, limestone, granite, and quartzite umder a mal force of 7,0001b. The size distribution of t h e muck for various grooves was determined through sieve ar~sis. A statistical search showed that Weibull d~istribution describes the size distribution better than other available functions. Results irdicate that fineness modulus, chip population, ard dimension of the largest chip can be used as indicators of cutting efficiency; The results correlate with those obtained from t h e boring machines amd other laboratory experiment s.
2116 RAD,FF Cc~relation of laboratory cutting data with tunnel boring machine performance; Report. 19F. US.BUR.M~NES, RI, N.7883,1974,19P. The Bureau of Mines conducted rock-ctfcting experim~uts under constant normal farce and constant l~netration in an effort to correlate laboratory data with those obtained in the field. Both indepemdent ar~ interacting groove spacing regions were sttrlied, ar~ ol~ira~ and critical cutter spacings wore determined. For t h e is~oratc~'y work, t h e effects of specific ez=z'Sy, muck weight, groove depth, cutting coefficient, and size distribution of the muck for both independent and interacting grooves were studied. For field operations, fc~ thrt~, torque, advance rate, and muck size distribution were the parameters studied. Satisfactory correlation is obtained between laboratory cutting results ar~ field performance data.

The paper repcrts a Joint project by the USBM amd Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop radiogral~hic techniques for assessing the performance of expansion amchor roof bolts in cylindrical rock specimens. H i ~ voltage (2MeV) radiogral~ was performed on specimens of 11.~stor~, shale ard sar~Istone in stressed and unstressed conditions. The stress was ir~luced by one of four selected expansion anchors. A unique micrcdensitcmstric scamming and data processing system usimg cc~relation techniques was developed ar~ applied so that a difference as ,m~11 as 0.01 density unit, prevlc~sly unobse~vable, could be extracted from the background and recorded.
