P739-757 An Ideal samphng approach (ISA) Is proposed to describe mtmmum d~sturbance effects m deep tube samples of saturated clays It rehes on approxamate solutions based on the strata path method to incorporate tube penetratton disturbances Laboratory test results mdlcate the ISA provtdes more reahstic predictions of dtsturbance than the exxstmg perfect samphng approach, and that tube penetration dtsturbance Is stgmficant m 'undtsturbed' thm wall tube sampled soft clays 881050 Rotation of principal directions in Ko-consolidated clay Hicher, P Y, Lade, P V

P774-788 The mfluences of changes m ortentatlon of prmclpal stress direction on the behavlour of Ko-consohdated clay have been examined Undramed torsion shear tests wtth monotonic and cyclic Ioadmg were carned out on hollow cyhnder specimens Results were compared with those from cubic tnaxlal tests, where the same stress paths were followed but no rotation of the prmclpal stress took place It was possible to separate the mfluence of stress rotation on stress-stram, pore pressure, and shear strength relattonshlps 881051 Effects of stress history on ballast deformation.

P909-914 A single density, smgle gradatton ballast was subjected to stogie stage, variable and progressively increasing Ioadmgs at an effective confining pressure of 35kN/sq m, m an attempt to simulate field loading Behavlour was different from that of similar samples subject to a stogie magnitude of stress dtfference or deviator stress Prestressing by progressively mcreasmg loadmgs reduced rate and magnitude of plasttc deformation and increased the threshold stress For stresses less than 50% of the static deviator stress, application of a high load prtor to subsequent application of a low load resulted m negligible plastic strum 881052 Some aspects of the hehaviour of non-saturated soils (In French) Delage, P
Rev Fr Geotech N40. 1987. P33-43 The basic concepts of the behavlour of unsaturated soils are mtroduced wtth reference to pubhshed work Soil suction, water retention, fluid flow, and permeabdlty and its changes with saturation are constdered The effective stress concept Is mtroduced and applied to consolidation, compresston, and shear strength Unsaturated soil behavlour is a complex phenomenon for whtch there is insufficient expertmental data to provide complete understanding of problems In earth structures subject to moisture content change 881053 New modified borehole jack for stiff rock Azzam, R, Bock, H

develop extra lugh load outputs Common and modified jackmg theories and mterpretatlons are compared Results of m sltu tests usmg both common and modtfied jacks at a major damslte are presented, together wtth those from conventtonal laboratory tests on cores, and dtscussed with conslderauon of particular rock conditions at the s~te 881054 Numerical analysis of soils in simple shear devices Budhu, M, Bntto, A

June 1987, P31-41 The fintte element program CRISP was used to analyse stmple shear tests on sods modelled etther as elastic or elastoplasuc materials Elastic analysis produces larger levels of stress concentratlon than that usmg a modified Cam-clay model Stress strain behawour of kaolin and loose sand predicted using the Cam-clay model agrees well wtth experimental results for constant load tests, but not for constant height tests Interpretation of results from simple shear devtces ts considered 881055 Drained-strength parameters from direct shear tests for slope stability analyses in overconsolidated fissured residual soils Borden, R H, Putnch, S F
