Publ Rotterdam: A. A. Balke~a, 1981 Two shallow liner-plate tunnels in mleaceous sandy silt residual soils caused significant subsidence at the grotmd surface. There were two factors in ccmnon: (i) the groundwater level initially was near the centre of the bc~e, amd (2) excessive overexcavation at the tunnel face without l ~ n p t filling of the void between the liner plate and the ground. Iml~rovedworkmanship reduced the subsidence to tolerable amounts in both cases.

Fibre slrayed concrete, a mix of cement, sand and stainless steel flbres, is being applied as a lining in the refurbishment of the sewers in Derby, Derbyshire, UK. 835181 LATTICE GIRDERS ~ ECONOMY AND PERFORMANCE FOR TUNNEL SUPPORT Braun, W M Tunn Turmlg, V15, N'3, May 1983, P19-21 Lattice girders are grad,n]ly replacing collierytype steel arches in tunnel support and lining systems. These novel tunnel supports also allow strengthening of the system with additional steel bars and are perfectly suited to the subsequent application of tunnel lining concrete, as in the New Austrian Tunnelling Method. 835182 'MAGIC' INGReDIEnT UR3RADES SHOTCRETE AND CONCRETE FOR TUNNELS Martin, D Turn Tunnlg, V15, ~ , April 1983, ~ 8

Unconfined compression tests were perfc~ned to try and relate factors such as cement content, pour pulp density, porosity and curing ht~nidity to backfill stremgth. Unconfined stremgth was fourd to increase with increased cement content, i n c r e a s e d pulp density, decreased porosity and decreased curing humidity. Data from triaxial compression tests indicated a relation between unconfined strength and the failure envmlope from the triaxial data. Either strength may be used in the design of backfill. 835186 SUPPORT IN SHAIIDW MINES USING HORIZONTALLY RETNFC~CED Hahn, J A; Blight, G E; Dison, L J S Afr Inst Min Metall, V82, NIO, Oct 1982,

The urgerground pump station, part of a new sewage network, is sited on an alluvial flood plain with 28m of sands and silts overlying bunte~r samdstone. Local mining subsidence required the inherent flexibility of a permanent sheet piled structure.
