Surface Structures 792163 APPLICATION OF THE INITIAL STRESS METHOD TO SOIL- S T ~ IBTERACTION Rowe, R K; Booker, J R; Balasm, N P Int J N~n Meth Emgr~, VI2, ~ , 1978, P873-880 A general me~hod is ~ese:~ed for the analysis of soil-struc~e interaction ~ l e m s usID6 t h e initial ~ e s s flni~e element ap~oach. The soil a ~ s t r u c t u r e a r e ~ e a ~ e d as separate bodies related only by nodal forces at the soils~r~ct~re interface. Provision ia made for plastic failure of both soil aI~ structure, shear failure at the In~erface, and breakaway of the structure from the soil. The me~hod has been applied tO footiDgu tummel, amehor amd pile 1~coblems: in t h i s p~pe~' the analysis of a rigid strip foo~i~ is presented. 79216~ FALSE MINING DAMAGE (IN CZECH) Michalek, E t~11i, V26, N~, April 1978, P15~-I~6 Discusses the problem of damage to sin-face installations and land in miniDg areas, where the damage has mot been c a ~ e d by miniDg activities. Examples given include d - m ~ e caused to buildir~s by faulty fourdations.

792167 INVESTIGATING OLD DAMS Little, A L Q J Engng GeOl, Vl0. N3, 1977. P271-280 Discusses three case st~ies of e ~ a ~ dams which had u~e~gone partial failure and required careful investlgation. Two were water imIxamdir~ ~Am. built in the 19th century su~ the third more recently constructed to retain iDd~trial waste. The inveatigation w ~ e j weeknesses focs~, ar~ rmnedial works carried out are described in each case. 792168 FOUNDATION GROUTING AT MOULAY YOUSSEF DAM Benzekri, M; Marchamd, R J J Geotech E ~ Div ASCE, VI04, h~Tg, Sept 1978, PI169-I181 The method was to carry out a minimum of initisl ~ r o u ~ , i n s t a l l p i e z ~ e r s a~i drains in the f o ~ I s ~ i o ~ s~d l~covide a co~Arol tuamnel from which problem areas could be ideaS.ifled and given additior~l treatment after fillir~ if necessary. When M o u l ~ Youssef Dam was filli~g for T~e firat time, discharge from one of the drains on the right bank increased suddenly g i v i ~ cause for alarm. Reservoir filling was stopped ar~ further drains were drilled. A wet zone in the control t u m ~ l e~ahled the suspect area tO be localized amd heavily grouted, which reduced the scepage to an acceptable level. The main work was dome from the control tu~mel. Despite the m ~ t i o n ~ l works, the final coat was considerably less than the estimate for the traditional fou~ation treatme~. 792169 EhK}INEERING GEOLOGY AND FOUNDatION B~HAVIOI~R OF ROSSLIq~I~E DAM COX, F Aust Geomech J, VGS, 1978, P9-19 The e ~ i n e e r i ~ ~eolo6y at the si~e of Rosslynne Dam, Victoria is described. The ~eological factors which controlled the location of the embankment, spillwsY and out,let works are detailed. A description is given of the fou~iation treatments applied to the various rock units. The settlemen~ characteristics of a portion of the fom~ation in weathered se~,~ntary rock are presented. AUth.
