A mathamatical model is u~ed to analyse the stress distribution of anlsotropic rock disks subject to diametrical lime load~mg. Ex~mlmes the validity of t~:e split cyli~ier test (Brazilian test) of transversely Isotropic rocks. 81~0~6 G E N ~ FAYLURE C~ITERXON FOR ROCKS Price, A M; Farmer, I W Proc 21st US Symposium on Rock Mechanics, Ro!la, Missouri, 28-30 May 1980, P256-263 Reports triaxia! c o ~ e s s l o n tests using a servo c o n t r o l l e d testing machine on 7 m~iium to low strength sedlmemt~rT rocks with a rar~e of confimlng pressures up to 42 MN/sq m and axial strains up to i0 per cent. Test results illustrate both strain hardening and strain softening post peak stress behaviour and related dilation. The plotted results suggest a critical state model for predicting failure mechanisms. 815057 ~'~'~6'TOF STRES~ PATH G E O ~ ON SOIL BRInnV.EZ'E,S$ Law, K T Geotechnlque, V31, N2, June 1961, P279-287 Shows am explicit relationship exi~cs bet~-een brittleness ani stress path gecme~-y for soils of given peak a~d post-peak strength envelopes. Results from tri~xial tests on clays ~mdlcate that drained teats yield the hi~hest brittleness either when the stress paths a r e re~himg failure at the same colliding ~tress cr when they start at the same consolidation pres~ure prior to shesrimg. 8150~8 RESIDUAL STRENGTH OF L~DF~CLAY Burlington, D; SteDhenson, R W; Rockaway, J D Proc 21st US Symposium on Rock Mechanics, R ~olla, Missouri, 28-30 May 1980, P~35-~5 Describes direct shear tests on s~bcoal samples to determine residual strem@~ah. The results are compared with results of earlier plate load tests to e~tablish a relationa~p between residual s~remgth arzl in situ strength based on lowest b~arirg capacity and lowest shear strer4~th. 81~0~9 C ~ s s I r V E ~gI'HEhDTH OF A B ~ I ~ J S COKING COAL Udd, J F; Eudson, K; Templeton, D Prcc 2!st US Symposium on Rock Mechanics, Rolla, M~s~ouri, 28-30 May 1980, P~68-~75 U~axlal compression tests on coal demonstrate a clear relationa~p between cc=~essive strength and dimensio,m ~ the samples. Disl gauges o~i electrical resistance strain g~uges were used to determine the defcrmatlo~al properties plotted as stress-strain curves. Results indicate deflr.ite non elastic behavlour umd~" stress. 815060 ULTT~i~.TE LOAD BEHAVIOUR OF LATERALLY CONSTRAIneD ROCK BEAMS Sterling, R L Proc 21st US Symposium om Rock Mechanics, Rolla, Missouri, 28-30 ~£'~y1980, P533-5~2 Describes tests on laterally constrained beams with various s ~ d e F t h ratios, materials, loadi~ conditions, ani supl~rt co~iltlons. The testing a ~ r a t u s was servo controlled. Load/ deflection, isteral thrus~vertical load, eccentriclty/vertical load curves determine

failure l,x~i. It was found thst shear or slip failures ~re critical at low s p ~ d e I ~ h ratios, lateral comlressive stresses control at mid spar/delfch ratios and buckllrg failure occurs at h~gh spa~depth ratios. 815061 APPLICATION OF THE P O I ~ LOAD INDI~( TEST TO STREEE/I~.

A diameter-correction chart and s ~ t i n g equations f~r diameters up to !00me is p r ~ . s e n t e d as an aid to sta~dardlsed index reporting. Detsiled studies are reported on the deprivation of uniaxlal and triaxial rc~k strengths fTom point iced testing data. The paper is based upon data from extensive testiDg undertaken by the authors together with data ex*~ac*~d from lr~viously published work in the field.

Volumetric strains were measured using a specially adapted triaxial cell. The results showed the brittle/ductile transition to be separate from the critical state add indicated the ey.lstence of a Hvaralev surface, relating shear strength to normal stress and specific volume, bet~'een these two points. These results are fur+her validated by comparison with those reported by other .~ork~'s.
