A series of tests has been carried out in Portugal on basalts and limestones in order to simplify geotechnical classification of rocks for use as rockfill. Crushing strength and weight loss in the slake durability test (2nd cycle) show promising correlations with mechanical properties. In addition, porosity and swelling strain are suitable parameters for carbonate rocks.
Sampling disturbance prohibits the cost-effective determination of in situ at rest lateral pressure in sand. A lateral stress sensing cone penetrometer has been developed for field use. Relations have been developed between measured lateral stress, in sttu lateral stress and density during tests in a calibration chamber. Preliminary field tests demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining reasonable values with this instrument.

Site Investigation and Field Observation
In many areas cohesionless sediments must act as both construction and foundation material for roads. There are a numbcr of classification s>stems for cohesionless soils, but these predominantly apply to their use as constructional materials. Detailed analysis of the parameters measured in classification and their relations to other propcrties leads to the conclusion that It is possible to predict liquefaction or internal erosion from current classifications. They can thus bc appltcd to both constructaon and foundation materials.

Puhl London Academic Press. 1987 Analysis of hydraulic fracturing of rocks is complicated by the presence of pre-existing joints and fractures, and their effects on ftuid pressure and fluid flow. Examples of laboratory and field hydraulic fracturing experiments are presented. Attempts are made to develop a two dimensional fracture mechanics analysis of the real problem, with particular application to crustal stress measurements. 884145 Non-linear and discontinuous stress variation with depth in the upper crust of the Baltic Shield Bjarnason.

Publ Rotterdam: A A Balkema. 1987 The results of multihose hydrofracturing tests from 5 sites in Sweden and I in Finland are presented. Only results from vertical, induced fractures are included. The data do not confirm the relatively large horizontal stresses close to the surface determined by overeoring methods, and vertical stress profiles

B D; Singh, B J ,Win Met Fuels V35..V6. June 1987. P249-252 In India it is becoming necessary to develop open pit mines to great depths in regions with adverse hydrological problems. Geotechnical investigations used include core logging and testrag, in situ shear tests.structural mapping of exposed areas. and monitoring of slopes and subsurface v,ater conditions. Guidelines for stabiltt,~ analysis of cut slopes, fills, and dams are presented. Development problems of large hillside mines. including settlement of surface structures and blast vibration difficulties, are considered.
