This paper describes an experlment comducted using the subterrene tunnelling system, in which the roof stud side walls of the tunnel were formed by melting a series of 50ram diameter horizontal holes approximately 2m deep in the loose soil fill material.

A h~esis is developed which indicates that failure in simple slopes and embankments involving strain-softenlng materials necessitates only line rupture to produce a klnesmtlcally admissible mechanism. A classifleation of such failures in terms of the number of line ruptures is proposed. The failure of a slope at Aberfan in South Wales is examined in the light of this hypothesis. The case af a granular e m b a r ~ n t on a straln-softening f o u ~ t i o n is examined and a simple design procedure to deal with a second o r d ~ mechanism involving a spreading type failt~e is presented.,

The paper presents a record of measur~nents of internal deformations of five major dams which occurred during and followlng construction of the dams. The data is compared and synthesized to some extent.

The a 1 ~ o r makes an examination of the problem of cracking of earth-fill dams, reviewing and evaluating experience during the past 15 years. Cracks have been farmed by differential settlement, by hydraulic fracturing and from grouting and other in-situ fluid pressures. Cracks have been found in dams of various designs and having a wide range of heights, in dams constructed of a wide vsriety of soils with good control of material and compaction, and in dams where there was no surface evidence of cracking, and cracks have occurred during first filling ~ also after several years of satisfactory service. The author concludes that cracking in dams is probably much more common than is now realized.

Results of studies on a trial embankment, founded on a peat layer, are given. The ~nbankment was made as 100m long section of a future highway. Settlements were measured and the coefficients of long term consolidation were determined and compared against those obtained from oed~meter tests, there were significant differences in the values obtained. A preloading technique was used which resulted in a reduction of the coefficient of long-term consolidation by about fifty percent. Conclusions were also drawn concerning the safe rate of fill construction.
