CIM Bull, V"(h., i'819, May 1981, P65-72 Reports ~n investigation into the stability of a slope at a q u a r r y excavated i n Ohazy lime~@one in Montreal. Observations on failures in the walls an! benches were reccrdedj ani back analyses of smsll-scale failures were carried out enabling an assessment of the in situ strength properties of the rock. Shear tests on samples in the laboratory were carried out in support of the back aralysis. 816165 ANALYSIS OF SLOPE STABILITY AT GOONY~;A MINE Richards, B G; Coulthard, M A; Toh, C T Can Geotech J, VI8, N2, May 1981, P179-19~ This paper outlines the results of field ard laboratory studies of the spoil piles ani highwalls at Goor~ella strip coal mine (Queensla~i, Australia) ani describes the various numerical methods used to analyse stability. The main cor~lusions, which are similar for both the spoil piles ani the highwmlls, are that the failures gemerslly occur along two or three plar~r surfaces, that the shear strength in the basal areas is cor.~rolled by the sensitivity of the materials to moisture and shear strsln prior to failure, and that tensile cracking due to stress relief and blastir~ is the dominant factor in the u~per or escarpment areas. Possible control ani remedial measures sre discussed briefly. 816166 URBAN LANDSLIDES IN TEE VICINITY OF VANCOUgU~, BRITIS~ COLUMBIA, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE DECEMBER 1979 RAINSTO~ Elsbacher, G H; Clague, J J Can Geotech J, V18, N2, May 1981, P20~-216

The marine envlror~nent has been divided into four significant zones of effect on t h e durability of concrete ard rock. Forms of deterioration specific to concrete, rock and common to both are discussed in the context of the four zones. Rate~ of concrete deterioration in the zones amd in different enviromments are also discussed. A preliminary study is presented of the shape, size anl weathering characteristics on the performance of rock used in marine structures particularly rubble-soured breakwaters.

A technique is ;resented which modifies the basal heave anclysis procedures for braced excavations to accotult for the strength anlsotropy exhibited by most natural, soft to median clays. Finite element ~ l y s e 8 are used to demonstrate the effects of anlsotropy on the behaviour of braced excavations. Analysis results show that if the soil is ~resumed to be isotropic when it is truly amlsotropic the followlmg trenis develop: (I) the basal heave safety factor may be from i0 to 50 percent larger than the actual one, depeniimg on the degree of anisotropy, (2) lateral wall movemerits and ground surface settlements can be larger than expected, ard (3) 'tm'"=llY high loads can develop on t h e lower s t r u t s in cases of marginal stability.
