The problems associated with %he measurement of thermal cor~uctivity in m~dstones and methods used a r e briefly discussed. A simple expression relatir~ thermal conductivity, density add litholo~y is derived add verified by experiment. FiDally$ data on thermal codd~ctivity from several areas in the UK is presented add discussed.

Nov 1981, Plt~61-1~87 Theoretical and experimental studies of heat flow ~nd moisture movemer~c u n d ~ thermal gradients are described with particular emphasis on flows arouDd buried electrical t r a n ~ s s i o n cables. A one-dimensional finite difference computer program far anslysis of coEpled heat and water flows in layered systems based on the Philip and DeVries theory is developed. A field test was ~or~l~ed to evaluate the heat anl moisture flow predictive methods. A finite element two-dimensioDal computer program is used to predict the variation of temperature distributions around the huried cable with time after initiation of cable heating.
Compressibility, swelling and consolidation 8230~9 SELF-WEIGHT CONSOLIDATION OF SOFT SOILS: AN ~IMENTAL AND THEORETICAL SIvJDY Been, K; Sills, G C Geotechnique, V31, N~, Dec 1981, P519-535 This paper describes laboratory experiments on the development and consolidation of a soft soil in settlir~ col~mmns, with measurement of der~ity (using an accurate, non-destructive X-ray technique), total stress, pure presst~re add settlement. The results are cemlmred with an earlier theoretical model. Modifications made to the model in the light of observed experimental features allow it to b e u s e d to predict the laboratory consolidation.
823050 KEY TO SOLUTIOE OF THE IRROTATIONAL CONSOlIDATION AND ITS APPLICATION TO CYLINDRICAL CLAY Ktmmmoto, N; Yoshikuni, H Soils Found, V21, N2, June 1981, P35-~6 Presents an analysis of multidimensional consolidation where the consolidation equation has been turned into a heat conduction type equation which includes the concept of the consolidation po~entlal: this azmlysis is simplified in the case of irro~atiorml consolidation. A rigorous solution of consolidation of a cylindrical clay sample with e~termal radial drainage is given.

Freezl~g of soft clayey soils can cause a significant c h a ~ e in soll properties such as soil structure add density. Plastic soils ma~ be overconsolidated by freezlr~, add t h a w i ~ of these soils may result in large settlements, due %o s u c t i o n fc~ces that draw pore water to the freeziDg front. A technique far determinimg the maximum suction occurrir~ d u r i ~ freezing is presented. The v o l ~ c h s ~ s resulti~ from the freezlr~ and t h a w i ~ of clays are shown t o h e related to the plastic limit a~d are observed to be as high as 25 per cent in the laboratory.
