Rotterdam: A. A. Balkema, 1983 Volumes 1 and 2 contain papers on: site exploration and evaluation; surface and near-surface excavations; deep underground excavations; rock dynamics and special topics in rock mechanics. Volume 3 will contain general reports and discussions. 8450O2 Development and current state of rock mechanics in China Mei Jian-Yun; Fu Bing-Jun; Kang Wen-Fa Proc 5th Congress of the International Society for Rock

A system for automatic recording and processing of data from triaxial, direct shear and one-dimensional consolidation tests is described. The system is composed of commercially available units and can be operated by an experienced soils laboratory technician. It has been used for routine tests for 4 years and has proved to be generally reliable. 845006 Improvement of methods of penetration testing for evaluation of soil properties Kulachkin, B I Soil Mech Found Engng V19, N6, Nov-Dec 1982, P264-266

Meclumics, Melbourne, 10-15 April 1983 112, PF251-F258. Publ Rotterdam: A. A. Balkema, 1983 This paper describes briefly the development and current state of rock mechanics since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The application of rock mechanics in dam foundation, underground structures, rock slopes and the improvement of rock masses were introduced. Some theoretical aspects and current lines of research are discussed briefly. Finally, some main points about the development of rock mechanics in China are presented.

Geotechnique V34, N2, June 1984, P211-228 The Atterberg limits, activity, and void ratio have been correlated with the compressibility, undrained shear strength and permeability of remoulded clays, covering a wide range of plasticity index and liquidity index. The correlations are plotted on graphs, and can be used for preliminary estimates in the early

This paper describes recently developed block test methods for characterizing and quantifying the thermal, mechanical and hydraulic properties of rock masses. The heated block test, recently conducted in situ on an 8cu m block of jointed gneiss, provides normal stress and temperature-dependent data such as deformation modulus, joint stiffness, joint permeability, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity and dynamic elastic modulus. Simpler tests conducted on singly jointed blocks or on jointed drill core provide joint roughness data. This is incorporated in recently developed constitutive models which describe the coupling of normal displacement, shear displacement, shear strength, dilation and permeability. 845009 Assessment of in situ stresses in the upper layers of a schistous bedrock (In French) Huergo, P J Proc 5th Congress of the International Society for Rock

Mechanics, Melbourne, 10-15 April 1983 V2, PF103-F109. Publ Rotterdam: A. A. Balkema, 1983 The evaluation of the mechanical behaviour of a rock mass does not depend solely on the induced stresses, but also on the natural stresses present. Determination of both natural and induced stresses is necessary to investigate the mechanical behaviour. To do this the case of a foundation on a rock mass
