Stress distributions are calculated using the complex stress function amd confcrmal representation for an infinite plate, under amy uniform edge force, containing an elliptical region filled with material having the modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio which are differe:It from those of the plate. The distributed stresses have almost the same values as the edge ones except the limited region of the tip of elliptical ir~uslon. 796023 ~ A R I ~

An idealized model was developed reducing t h i s problem to a dilatimg sheer bared appearing near the anchor surface amd to a wedging effect in the adjacent soil body caused by this dilatancy, amd the model was tested experimentally. Conclusions ere drawn concerning stress-strain relations in the sheer band, amgles of intermal friction, amd the parameters controllimg skin friction. A modified direct shear apparatus has been designed, ard a method for calculating bearing capacity is presented.

796025 CURABILITY OF COAL (IN POLISH) Sikora, W Prace Glownego Inst Gcrn, Komunlkat ~687, 1978, llP The process of cutting dull amd bright coals under various compressive stress comditions was studied in lab tests. The efficiency of ploughs depends much ~ r e on the natural minimg conditions than does that of sheerer-loaders. The effort r~cessary to cut coal in a stressed
condition depends partly on workability and c ~ r e s ~ I v e stremgth, but mainly on the petr~ graphic structure and elastic properties of the coal. 796026 C O N S T I T ~ RELATIONS OF COAL AND COAL MEASURE ROCKS Ko, H Y; Gerstle, K H USEM OFR 58-78, Sept 1977, 174P Repurts testing of rocks to obtain mechanical, i~dex, and geological properties which were analyzed anl correlated for strata zonation.

The behaviour of London Clay is divided into three ramges of strain: elastic, intermediate and plastic. It is shown that the model can be used to e~=~te %he results of b o t h ishoratcry and in altu tests. ~he movements around two excavations in London Clay, inmludlng the New Palace Yard Undergro~md Car Parks have also been competed retrospectively with considerable' success.

A new hypothesis is presented in which this scale factor is made a function of the stress level at the last reversal point. This new hypathesis leads %o shear-stress sheer-strain relationships umder irregular cyclic loading that appear to give better a~reeme~t with experimental data than the existing models. Auth.

1979, P727-738 This paper updates the stress path method l~roposed by the first author in 1967. The u/rlerlyiDg principle of the stress path method states that the behaviour of a soil element depends on the stress path for the history and for the stressing the element will receive in the future.
