33P Presents a finite layer aPlroach for the analysis of layered and continuously varying cross-anisotropic elastic soll profiles, in which there is no horizontal variation in the soil prope/-hies. The technique is computationally more economical than the finite element method anl is particularly suitable for 3-dimensional problems and problems involving deep soll layers. The method is applied to uniformly loaded strip and circular footings resting on a soll with a homogeneous crust underlain by a main deposit whose stiffness increases linearly with depth.

A n.~nerical procedure is presented, belongir~ to the class of 'evolutive' aplroaches, for the finite element soltltion of stress axmlysis problems ir_vc]vlr~£ ro~-linear c r ~ l ~ ol rocks. The aplmoach proposed allows both for r,on-linear revcrsi~le behavlour (nor.-lir~sr visco~Tasticity) ar~ for non-linear non-rev~rsiblle behavlour (viscoplasticity), eithe/ assc~:~ated ar non. ass(misted flow rules can be cor.-Idered. Primary, sec ).:k~ry ar~ tertiary creep can be accotuf%.~d for by supplying suitable laws governirg the variation of material parameters (sunh as viscosity) with stresses amd strains. The n~nerical procedure is based on Newmark's time integration scheme, along each l o a d i ~ t i m e step quadrstic varation of the stress amd strain fields and linear variation of_ the material parameters are assumed. As an example a hollow cylinder test on a rock sample behaving according to a simple non-linear viscoplastic rheological model ~s simulated n~x~Ically.

1981, P95-i04 Applied soil mechanics still makes use of empirical laws for the prediction of creep strain since no generally accepted creep theory is yet available. The object of the paper is to present an improved, physical creep model and its mathematical ar~logy, and to examine the creep rate according_ to this model by means of a c~,~ater cede. The model yields a creep law which appears to have a wide scope amd it thus provides a promising basis for representing creep data, and a ratior~l starting point for creep studies which involve structural changes.

These displacements are due both to settlement and swelling. The ultimate displacement has been brought within the mathematical formulations. The data published by several investigators for a number of field cases have been used to establish this. The agreement between the observed and ~redict~d values of displacement is good. The findlmgs of this investigation have a potential value in the application to field problems. 813o5~ CREEP OF CLAY SOILS: A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL STUDY (IN Z ~ W C ~ ) Felix, B Paris: Labaratcire Central des Ponts et Chaussees, report LFC 93, May 1980, 231P R e v i ~ s research mainly of Soviet arlgin, concentratimg on the work of S R Meschyan publiahed between 1967 and 1974.
