classification tests, slake durability point-load indices. X-ray diffraction analyses were made on a range of materials. Stability analyses show the critical effects of water corzlltions on the factor of safety. The performsmee of the cut has been monitored since ear].y 1974 amd no reeordable movement has been noted.
803222 M E ~ O D OF EVALUATING THE RELATIVE STABILITY OF GROUND FOR HILLSIDE DEV~OPMENT Hoexter, D F; Holzhausen, G; SOto, A E Engrg Geol, V12, N4, Dec 1978, P319~336 Engineering geology maps are translated into relative stability maps in which areas are identified in descriptive terms meaningful to non-geologists, and which are suitable as a basis for preliminary land use and e11gineering decisions. The method is illustrated by examples from the San Francisco Bay region of California.

Field and lab tests are reported, and the failure mechanism discussed. 803226 SOIL STUDIES AT SRTPSHAW, QUEBEC: l ~ l AND 1969 Legget, R F; La Salle, P Can Geotech J, V15, N4, Nov 1978, P556-564 Discusses published results in relation to the Saint Jean Vianney landslide of 1971, and presents revised and additional information on the clay and organic strata in the area. 803227 INFLUENCE OF BEDDING PLANE FAULTs IN SEDIMENTARY FORMATIONS ON LANDSLIDE OCCURRENCE, WESTERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Pinckney, C J; Streiff, D; Artim, E R Bull Assoc Emgng Geol, V16, N2, Spring 1979, P289-300
803228 LANDSLIDE P~g~DIAL MEASURES Royster, D L Bull Assoc Emgng Geol, VI6, N2, Spring 1979, P301-352 Discusses types of slide and their characteristics, particularly translational slides~ rotational slides and flows. Remedial measures are considered in four categories: drainage, removal, restraint, and relocation. The use of rock buttresses for restraint is described, amd all categories are illustrated by reference to slides affecting roadways in Tennessee. 803229 CASE HISTORY OF PIT SLOPE DESIGN Coates, D F; Yu, Y; Gyer~ge, M Proc 4th Congress International Society for Rock Mechanics, Montreux, 2-8 Sept 1979, Vol I, P591-595.
