~3A

these ~rocedures may apl~eciably increase resistance to liquefaction. Field data on liquefaction have been correlated with sta~iard penetration resistance. Use of such crude empirical correlations would have led to better practice in the last decade than reliance only on the results of scientific at~dies. DIZ~AMIC STRESS CONCENTRATION IN AN ELASTIC HALF SPACE WITH A S~MI°CIRCULAR CAVITY EXCITED BY SH WAVES Garner, U Int J Solids StrUct, rIB, NT, 1977, P675-681 Investigates the stress distribution ar~ dynamic stress concentration factor at the surface of a semi-clrctular cylindrical cavity, usimg wave function expansion for the incident wave am~ the reflected waves ani obtaining a closed form solutlor. Relates to the ~:W~arpretation of the surface effects of seismic waves near umd~grour~ cavities or foundations.

Experiments on a simulated layered rock system are described. The system mor~Itors rotary speed, head displacecent, thrust, inlet oil pressure, swash plate position, water flow rate, inlet water presses, outlet water pressure.

Cutting 796200 LABORATORY COMPARISON OF THREE ROCK CUTI~NG TOOLS Ht~rt, K G; Laidlaw, D D Tumm Tunnlg, VII, N~, May 1979, P!3-16 Laboratory measurements were made of the cuttim6 efficiemcy of rock cutting tools of the types used or. boom type t ~ l l i m g machines. A study of three tyP~csl rock cutting tools indicates that when cu~timg herd or abrasive rock, tool tip shape is probably not an important determinant of cutting efficiency when measured over the wh()le llfe of the tool. Tool type should be selected primarily or. lomge~ity and resistance to fracture.
