805006 ELASTIC-PLASTIC ANALYSIS OF GEOTECHNICAL PRO~X~MS BY MATHEMATICAL P R Y I N G Oloda, G; De Donato, 0 Int J N~n Anal Meth Gecmech, V3, N4, Oct-Dec

1979, I:r381-b,01 A numerical technique, based on a mathematical l~OgrAmm~ug algorithm, is presented fer the solution of geotee~nical problems where elasticplastic material behaviour is considered. The loading process is subdivided into a series of steps applied to a finite element mesh with geometry amd material l~operties constant along each step, but with possible chamges between subsequent steps. Some typical geotechnlcal problems are amalysed by means of the proposed algorithm am~ a comparison is made between the available in situ measurements and the ~ i c a l results.

Contains 21 papers given at the 27th Geomechanical Colloq~Imm of the Austrian Society for Geomechanics, Salzburg. Oct 1978. The papers are given separate entries in this issue.

A modelling of the effective anisOtropic elasticity tensor is presented for elastic rocks permea. ted by a rather dilute concentration of stressinduced dry and saturated flat cracks. An exact analytical expression of the 3 wave velocities and attemnations in a ~ oblique direction is obtained fer the various crack distributions considered. A comparison is made with s~herical cavities. This study is lir~ked to ~he mechanical behaviour of cracked rocks under varying stress ard also has relevance in a seismological context to the detection of cracke~ zones and may be useful in the investigation of earthquake dilatancy.

SOIL SAMPLING IN EUROPE: STATE-OF-THE-ART Broms, B B J Geotech Engmg Div ASCE, V106, NGT1, Jan

198o, ~5-98 Relates to the fi~ddng of the lower bound solution using Lym~er's method of li~dt analysis with variations. The method considers the f~mily of plane stress fields having the property that all stresses vary linearly within each triangular element of sOme mesh which covers the scdl mass urde~ study. Far this type of stress field it is possible to exlress all equilibrium conditions as a set of linear constraints and the no-yield as a set of mon-lin-

Sampling methods used in Europe for onshc~e and effahc~e structures are reviewed as well as the disturbance of the samples caused by drilling, sampling, stress release, transportation and storage. The definition amd classification of sample disturbance are considered as well as the deformation l~coperties of both cohesive and cohealonless soils under static and cyclic loading. Auth. 15~ refs.
