Of creep rates and ultimate failure loads was checked against the results of screw auchcr tests carried out by the Division of Building Research, N.R.C.C., at a permafrost site in Thompson, ~%itoba. It was found that the use in the theory of the creep parameters determined by creep-pressuremeter tests performed at the site, resulted in a satiafactcry agreement between the l~edicted and the observed behaviour.Auth. 6O4 NOVAK, M ~ c stiffmess and damping Qf piles. 18F,2T, 12R.

Dymamic response Of footings and structures supported by piles can be predicted if dynamic stiffness and damping generated by soil-pile interaction man be defined. An apl~Qximate smalytlcal approach based on linear elasticity is im~esemted, which makes it possible to establish the dimensionless parameters of the problem and to obtain closed-fszm formulas for pile stiffness and damping. All components of the motion in a vertical plane are considered; ~hat is, horizontal as well as vertical translation and rotation of the pile head. The stiffness amd damping of piles are defined in such a way that the design analysis of footings and structures resting on piles can be conducted in the same way as is applied in the case Of shallow foundations.

cribed which was developed for unsaturated and saturated expansive clay with non-linear properties. It is sn extension of Blots consolidation theory to include unsaturated soils and has been checked satisfactorily against available mathematical solutions for saturated soils. Extrapolation to unsaturated soils still requires field verification. A mathematical medal has now been set up by coupling the above soll model to the structural model for various structures; as. reinforced slab-onground foundations. Some pre1~mlnary results obtained from this application are described. 6O8 TAN, SB Settlement due to deep foundation construction. Conference. Session four. 6F,1T,~R.

This paper describes the case history of the City Hall Building, Singapore, when ground settlements adjacent to the sites of deep excavation fcr foundation construction occurred. The settlements are shown to be a consequence of soft clay formation, depth of excavation, method of construction, and time log in strutting. The pattern of cracks and gaps observed between the various blocks of the building correspond with the settlements that had occurred.

The equations have been developed, and the results obtained, in non-dlmensional farm. The results have been cc~pared with available experimental results and agreement Is found to be very good. The method can be modified to apply to Wlr~ler type foumdations and problems of circnlar plates of various thickness.
