Ground improvement for tunnelling
245A 846358 Geomembrane products Giroud, J P; Frobel, R K lnt Water Power Dam Constr V36, N3. March 1984, P23-26 Discusses the composition, production, classification and identification of geomembranes. 846359 Geomembraues and geotextiles. Engineers strive for common standards lngold, T S New Civ Engr N594, 14 June 1984, P18-20 A review of the state-of-the-art for the use of geomembranes and geotextiles. Polymer technology has been extensively used in the manufacture of these fabrics.
846365 Evaluation of roof trusses, phase 2. Use of frequency of vibration to determine chord tension Mangelsdorf, C P US Bureau of Mines report OFR 35-84. Jan 1983.58P This report deals with efforts to develop a portable device suitable for underground use for the purpose of measuring the frequency of vibration of the horizontal chords of Birmingham roof trusses. Four devices were investigated and evaluated. An approximate empirical expression developed from a mathematical analysis provides a means of converting the frequency into tension. The method appears to be effective in mines with shale roof but requires some modification for other roofs. Auth. Avail: NTIS, Springfield, Va, 22161 USA (PB 84-166479)

Grouting
Report on a British Tunnelling Society meeting where Mr Graham Biggart gave a lecture on methods of ground treatment. The main methods of ground improvement used in tunnelling are grouting, low pressure compressed air and, to a lesser extent, groundwater lowering and freezing.
846366 Gelation of chemical grouts while in motion. Technical note Daniele, P; Hutchinson, J; Karol, R H; Ospitia, L; Reim, B Geotech Test 1 V7, N2, June 1984, P107-109
Bolts and anchors 846361
Simple rock bolt pull-out test device for teaching purposes. Technical note Stimpson, B lnt J Rock Mech Min Sci V21. N4, Aug 1984, P217-218 846362 Development of resin-anchored roof bolting technology based on an expanding polyurethane system (In German) Strobelt, S Neue Bergbuntech VI3, NIl, Nor 1983, P619-621 846363 Some studies on anchor plates in sand Hoshiya. M: Mandal, J N Soils Found V24, NI, March 1984, P9-16 Laboratory model tests to examine the pullout resistance of shallow vertical rectangular and square model anchor plates in loose granular soil have been carried out. The effects of force coefficient, breakout factor, embedment ratio and the width-toheight ratios of the anchor plates were examined. 846364 Ultrasonic stress transfer: a direct test of rock bolt integrity Moulder, G R" Howard, P L; Hesler, J C; Tarpley, W B US Bureau of Mines report OFR 31-84, Aug 1983, 84P A device was developed that measures dynamic stress (ultrasonic energy) transfer through installed rock bolts, a measure that is directly proportional to the degree of grout bonding of the bolt to the mine roofstructure and thus the ability ofthe bolt to bear static stress. The rock bolt bond tester (RBBT) is a handheld portable device that shows three ranges of bolt bond condition: one-third (bad bond), two-thirds (marginal), or fully bonded.

A test procedure to determine if a chemical grout will gel while in motion through a soil mass. An experiment is detailed, using sodium silicate grout catalyzed with glyoxal, to demonstrate the use of the test method and the extrapolation of laboratory scale to field scale parameters. 846367 Recent applications of grouting Merrifield, C M Ground Engng VI7.

The addition of cement to a bentonite slurry gives a complex material called a self-hardening grout which sets to become a clay-like solid. Its properties are highly dependent on the bentonite and cement used. This paper describes the characteristics of different mixes tested in their fluid and solid states which have been examined for their applicability for cutoffwalls in dams of the James Bay Hydroelectric Project, Canada. 846370 Prefabricated fin drains and their application lngold, T S Civ Engng, London March 1984, P35-39
