a varved glacial lake formation. While this formatien has been considered, for many years, unsatisfactory for the support of heavy s~uctures~ laboratory testing of samples from the f~rmation have ~ - t r a t e d that it has been heavily precmmsolidated. Settlement analyses have Indica%~d that m e d i ~ to hi@h-rise structures accora~-=ly rosy ~e s u p p ~ - ~ above it with tolerable settl~ts. ~ h i s paper presents t h e analyses and dCservati~ns of settlement on a number of structures so supported.

The t h e o r y for soil comsolidati~n by electro-osmosis is presented snd extended to two special cases that may be useful in t h e field, i.e., electrode reversal to prOduce more uniform water content d e c r e a s e and strength increase between electrodes and superposition of consolidatimm by electro-osmosis onto that due to direct load. It is shown that the Terza~hi consolidation equation descries the rate of consolidation so long as the voltage distr~butiom remains comstent with time. Experimental results show reasonable conformity with the theory for the case where soil properties remain essentially constant during eleotro-osmosis consolidation. Test results support the electrode reversal technique as a moans for accelerating comsolidation by electro-osmosis and for establishment of uniform properties between electrodes. Auth.

Geology 828 TRU~4EL, JE Engineering geology as part of Los Altos Hills and Stanford University land, Northern Santa Clara County, California. M.S .THESIS,STANFORD UNIV'.,USA, 1974. This rel~rt ;resents the results of a prel~m~nary engineerlng geology study of parts of Los Altos Hills s~d Stanford University lands. The purpose is to describe the natural geologic conditions, to delineate areas which may present problems to develolm~ent, and to pro. vide a basis for land.use plamnin~ of the area. The report presents technical data only and does not consider social or economic considerations which should also have important bearings on the ultimate land use. Auth.

Tectonic processes 829 LOWENFELS, HS Application of the finite element method to problems of crustal warping during deglaciation. M.S .THESIS,UNIV .ARIZONA,USA, 1974. The finite element method has been an important tool for solving engineering and related structural problems for two decades. Recently, its use has spread to problems in the geosciem~es. A finite element model is specifically developed to determine the amount of restrained rebound that occurs in the earth when an ice sheet from the earth's surface molts. Auth.

The lltholo~Ical description of sedimentary series requires a highly organized form of documentation, especially if v o l ~ - o u s core material has to be evaluated, and llthological data are l~ovided for archives. For this kind of documemtaticm tables are suitable, in which verbal descripticms ere -1-~st exclusively reduced to sig~s or symbols. Tabular d o ~ t a t i o n requires the consiferaticm of general questi~ms of classification and scaling of features. ~ r e e working tables are presented dlffarlr~ in the degree of intensity. They may , ~ , l y be used for clastic sediments with little intercalations of other sedlw~tary rocks. Auth.

~5-i00. An approxin~te yet accurate for~Ala is proposed for the natural frequencies of coupled shear walls under continuous medium assumptions. First the deflected shape of the structure is represented as the sum of two components: one due to flexural cantilever action and one due to shear-flexure cantilever action. The natural frequencies of the latter two systems are then combined in Dunkerley's for~slla to yield the approximate frequency of the structure. Auth.
