and a reduction of at least 50 per cent was observed whoa drains were used. The technique also is very economical.
Influence of dynamic loads due to explosions or earthquakes 159 • BOLT,BA CIDUD,WK Recorded stron~ motion on the Hslnfengklang Dam, China. Letter to the editor. 5F, IT,3R. BULL.SEISM. SOC .AM.V6h,NS, AUG. 1974, P1337-1342 • A brief history and descriptio~ of the Hslnfengklsng Dam, a large concrete dam-Wnlch was begun in 1958, and its reservoir is given. The accelerometer used to check the dynamic behaviour of the dam after it was strengthened as a result of earthquake damage in 1962, is described and the r e c o r ~ are interpreted.

The International Association of Dam Constructions recommend that 0.7 percent of the overall cost of dams should be spent on period control surveys. In recent years photogrammetry has been increasingly used for control surveys. The paper deals with the development of appropriate systems and the application of a specific system to control surveys of the power dam of a i00 million dollar power plant in the province of Quebec.

This short report r~ises three points additional to the general report2 "Surface Workings in Rock" by E. Roek and P. Londe. These are concerned with the analysis of the geological evolution of the ground, admissible loading conditions of the rock in the foundations of large structures, and methods of statical analysis. 152". ~EK, E I M P ~ .COLL.SCI .TECqKNOL.LONDON,GB IDNDE, P BUR.

SCI .VI,PART A, 1974,P613-752 • A critical review of the present "State of the Art" of the design of surface workings in rock is presented in this report which is divided into four sections: i. Appraisal of rock masses; 2. Design methods; 3. Rock siopes; 4. Pock foundations. Site investigation techniques, laboratory tests, mathematical and physical models are all examined in the light of their relevance to engineering design. The use of the factor of safety as a design index is discussed and an assessment is given of the most practical approach to desi~qlng rock slopes and foundations. The influence of groundwater on the stability of surface workings is considered and the use of drainage and grouting for groundwater control is discussed. Other methods for improvln~ stability; including the use of controlled blasting techniques and the reinforcement of the rock mass, are considered.
