Education i MIwI k~R,L UNIV. EARLSRUHE, D BROILI,L Fundementals of Rock Mechanics. Lectures held at the Department for mechanics of deformable bodies. September 1969. Flgs,Tabls,21R. IET.CENTRE MECH.SCI.UDINE.COURSES AND LECTURES, ~8,196 9, 73P. The texts of three lectures, one given by Dr. Broili, and two given by Professor Muller, are presented. The first by Professor M~ller, concerns very simple principles of rock mechanics~ ard how statistical methodology is used in studying structural problems and in describing rock mass. The second, by Dr. Broili, discusses the concepts concerning the constitution of geological bodies, the definition of geological discontinuity, the concept of "spatial geological structure" and the statistical descriptive methodology used for their study. In the third lecture, the theory behind rock mechanics is considered with respect to its use in solving real problems.

Companies,institutes and laboratories 2 CSIRO Research report 1973. Division of applied geomechardcs. Figs,Tabls. CSIRO, DYV. APP. G ~ , AUSTRALIA, 1973, 79P. A review of the research programmes carried out by the Con~nor~ealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Australia, for 1973 is presented. Major programmes considered are: Support research Services; Material science; Applied rock mechanics; Stress deformation studies in engineering systems; integrated geomechanics studies; and pro~rammes carried out in collaboration with other authorities. The projects ir~lude design of unlerground openings, defoTmation behavlour, load response studies, raft foundations, stability of filled stopes and creep. The objectives and methods involved in each project are outlined.

3 HANSEN, RJ Seismulc design for nuclear power plants. Textbook. Figs,Tabls,Refs. GENERAL PUBLISH.CO.LTD.CANADA, 1972,489P. The book is composed of papers presented at the seminar on 'Seismic design for nuclear power plants' at M.I.T. in 1969 the papers consist of methods for determining the seismic threat at the site and the seismic loadings for which the plant should be designed. The papers cover three areas of earthquake engineering: 1. Estimation

PARRY, RH Stress-straln behaviour of soils. Textbook. Figs, Tabls, Refs. G.T.FOULIS CO.LTD.GB.1972, 752P. This book contains the proceedings of a symposium held at Cambridge University in 1971. It is divided into six sections, the first three of which deal with the meaning arzl measurement of basic soil parameters. The following three sections deal with large-scale laboratory measurement of soil performance, methods of solution of boundary value problems amd the relevance of laboratory measured parameters in field studies.

5 GIROND, JP Mechanique des Sols: tables pour le c~lcul des fondations. Tome 1. Tassement. Textbt~k. In French. 140F,Tabls. DUNOD, PARIS, 1972,384P. This is the first of three volumes dealing with the computation of stresses, strains arzl displacements resulting from the surface loading of elastic continua. Various tYpes of applied loading are considered including: concentrated loading (normal and inclined); line loading; circular loading (flexible and rigid cases); annular loadingj and conical loading. For each loading case, influence coefficients are presented in both graphical and tabular form, arzl their use is illustrated by means of worked examples. 6 KEEDI, A Hamdbook of soll mechanics. Volume 3. Soil mechanics investigations. Textbook. Figs,Tabls,Refs. AKADEMIAI KIADO, BUDAPESt, 1973. The method of soll explcratlon and tests in both laboratory and field are considered. The book begins with a discussion of the principal methods of site investigations by boring, sampling and sounding. The secomd chapter on laboratory tests contains tables and graphs in connection with different tests of iniex properties, hydraulic and mechanical properties of soils, including various tYpes of triaxial test and their evaluation. After treatment of groundwater investigations and In-place permeability tests, field loading tests on plates amd piles are discussed. The last chapter, covering various investigations of earth works is followed by a discussion of geological maps for engineering purposes, and the book concludes with a detailed list of international references to this and previous volumes.
