771159 BOHEHOLE STRUCTURAL LOGGING EMPLOYING A PNE~ICALLY II~ABLE IMPRESSION PACKER Barr, M V; Hocking, G Paper to Symposium on Exploration for Rock E~glneering, Johannaeburg, Nov 1976. Proceedings, Vl, P29-34

~,~]1 diameter exploratory boreholes ere drilled primarily for the retrieval of core samples. The usefulness of these bcreholes can be increased considerably by truing a variety of dcwn-hole mechanical, geophysical and hy~Irological tests to study the in-situ engineering properties of the surrouniing rock mass; A wide range of such tests is revi~ ed, with special attention being given to those techniques currently in use in South Africa including details of the equipment used anl examples to illustrate their merits and limitations.

Using a simple bore_hole impression packer utilising a deformable thermoplastic film, impressions of the walls of diamonl cored bcreholes in a slate anl a limestor~-chert formation have been obtained. Orientation and apertures of discontinuities in the limestonechert formation were determined from the borehole impressions. Good correlation exists between the structural data obtained from bore_holes stud from surface outcrops.

HYDRAULIC SAMPLER FOR OBTAINING UNDISTURBED SEDIMENT CORES Johnson, D L; Alexander, C S J Sedlm Petrol, V~6, NI, March 1976, P249-251

Reports modifications to a portable hydraulic coring device, which enable recovery of unliaturbed sediment cores 1.2 m in length. 771156 EXPERIENCES WITH UNDERGROUND SAMPLING OF ~MFLACED HYDRAULIC FILL Thomas, E G Proc Australas Inst Min Metall, N259, Sept

1976, ~5-51 The methods and equipment developed and used at the Mount I ~ mine to obtain samples of uncemented hydraulic fill lying above major horizontal pillars are described. From existing u~iergrour~ development, samples were obtained at distances up to 50 m, of which up to 30 m was through hard rock. Samples were used %o predict fill behaviour as it affected mining security during recovery af the pillars. Speclalieed equipment for difficult sampling situations anl also other sampling exercises are described. Auth.

DRILLING FOR ROCK ENGINE~RING Weaver, J M Paper to Symposium on Exploration for Rock Engineering, Johanresburg, NOV 1976. Proceedings, Vl, 917-24

Exploratory drilling practice in SouThern Africa in terms of develolmmnt of a drilling progrs~mue, spacing, depth and orientation of borings, penetration rates, drilling equil~nents core bmrrels, diamond bits, and selection of contractors is described. 771158 LARGE DIAMETER DRILLING IN ROCK Hartley, W F; Ball, R J Paper to Symposium on Exploration for Rock Engineering, Johannesburg, Nov 1976. Proceedings, VI, P25-28 Large diameter shafts to 1.5 m diameter can be drilled from ground level to depths of 300 m or more. Generally, they are drilled to service underground workings, but the technique may be extended to provide useful geotechnlcal information obtained from inspection or in-situ te sting.

INTEGRAL SAMPLING TECHNIQUE OF JOINTED ROCK MASSES Orr, C M; Traxler, K; Benzinger, E Paper to Symposium on Exploration for Rock Engineering, Johannesburg, Nov 1976. Proceedings, VI, P57-62 The integral sampling technique yields a piece of intact core from which it is possible to obtain detailed measurements of the orientation a ~ frequency of fractures intersected by the borehole as well as the thickness ard consistency of fault and Joint gouge material. The paper describes the technique a ~ equipment developed at the CSIR, South Africa, and the results obtained from an experimental test programme using the equipment.

771161 DETERMINATION OF R~D FRCM FETROSCOPE OB~RV~IONS Olivier, H J Paper to Symposium on Exploration for Rock Engineering, Johannesburg, Nov 1976. Proceedings, Vl, P63-68 A comparison of RQD values obtained at different depths from groups of boreholes drilled urder identical conlitions at various test localities in the Orates-Fish tunnel showed that the conventional core-loggir~ method gave unsatisfactory results, and that over-pessimistic ratings of rock mass quality were obtained. A new method is !:roposed for the indirect determination of RQD from petroscope observations in short exploratory bereholes drilled into the crown section of the tunnel.

In the engineering borehole log described, both rock er~ncering a~i purely geological information is used to ~rovlde a comprehensive log of rock conditions. The tabular format reiuces the lik~!~hood of certain parameters being overloaded in the field, ard ensures that the variations in ir~lividual parameters may be readily observed.
