Geology 826050 SPREADING OF ROCK AVALANCHE DEBRIS BY MECHANICAL FLUIDIZATION Davies, T R H Rock Mech, VI5, NI, June 1982, P9-24 Two hypotheses for the motion of large rock avalanches (sturzstroms) are examined: (a) that sturzstrom deposits result from the spreading of a mass of debris in a fluidised state under the influence of gravity, and (b) that the I~.L~,:.~ becomes fluldised 1~ecause of the existence of a high shear rate in the basal region. The first hypothesis is supported by data describing the length of sturzstrom deposits, and the secor~ is shown to be in agreement with simple laberatory tests, with the grain-flow theery of Bagnold asi with the ch8racteristic features of sturzstrom deposits.

Tectonic processes 826051 GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE AND THE TECTONIC EVOLUTUON AS FACTORS OF INSTABILITY IN THE PINDOS ZONE AREA (GREECE) Ar~r onopoulos, B Rock Mech, VIS, NI, June 1982, P~I-54 In the Imesent study the geologlc-lithological structure, as well as the tectonic evolution of the Pindos Zone (mainly thin plated Upper Cretaceous limestones) are examined in correlation with the acting mechanism and causes of the observed mobilisationo In addition, it is argued that the principal factors of instability, which 'Irepsre' certain locations in long-term l~ocess for landslide manifestations, are connected with the geological structure and tectonic evolution of the Pindos Zone and some particular characteristics of it. These feat~es constitute 'inherent alpine factors of instability' which, acting at places in conjunction with certain secomdary exogene ones, progressively generate conditions of critical looseness of the rock. Finally, the observed instability of the Cerinthian gulf coastal slopes is mentioned, which is also closely connected with the prevailing vertical neotectonic movements and the accumulation of stresses in this active trough.

Soil and tailings ~roparties far the Sudbury area, Canada, are then compared: texture~ structure, colot~, moisture conditions, wind erosion effects, chemistry, mineralogy, and microbiology. It is co~clmded that tailings and soils have similar lilysical and chemical properties with respect to plant nutrition and geomorphology.
