Fill pressure measurements are then employed as s~ independent check on the appropriateness of the prediction technique. A time independent elastic-plastic material idealization with non-lineer fill appears to account for the salient rock mechanics features of cut and fill mining in narrow stopes. Relative improvement in ground control obtained by fill~ug is mainly a function of the ratio of initial fill modulus to rock modulus.

50k MCCAUL, C MORGAN, JM BOD~N, JB Measurement of ground movement due to excavation of a shallow tunnel in lower chalk. 20F, SR. TRRL SUPP.REPORT 199UC,1976,20P. Movements of the ground due to excavati~ of a 5m diameter tunnel in chalk were one of the geotechnical aspects studied during the tunnelling trials at Chinnor, Oxfordshire. Surf-ace and sub-surface movements were measured at a cross-section of a tunnel over a period of 5 months. The measurement techniques which were used are described and assessed, and the results are presented as graphs of ground movements in relation to the advance of the tunnel. Ground movements begau when the tunnel was lOre from the measurement section and continued until the tunnel had adveaced to hornbeyond. The maximum observed subsidence of 22.3mm occurred in im above the crown of the tunnel with a corresponding surface subsid~ce of 8ram. The max t-.Tin observed horizontal movement of 9~n towards the tunnel occurred at a point located im above axis level and 3m horizontally from the centreline. 5o5 ME~RIT,AH Tunnel boring machines - geologic control. 2F, SR. PROC.ZND INT.CONGRESS IAEG, SAO PAULO,1974,PAPER VIIPC-2,V2 ~1974, 7P. The successful use of a tunnel boring machine depends upon a uniform geological environmm~t; abrupt changes in rock hardness and quality greatly influence rates of ad_ vance and costs of cutter heads. Some examples of these conditions from recent tunnel projects are presented in this paper.

Theoretical results obtained for a tunnel witch a unit length s,nd also for a tunnel chich is driven with constant speed, are shown analytically and in graphic form; these theoretical results are compared with measurements made at several points of the ~]misor Central Tunnel, which was driven for the Deep Sewage System of Mexico City.

a set of three unequal simulated principal In-situ stresses. The results showed a predictable relationship between in-situ stresses and hydraulic fracturing pressures dependent On foliation inclination. Under normal In-situ stress conditions, and by hydrofracturimg through a thin lining of plaster of paris, all the induced fractures were vertical and perp~qdicular to the direction of the smaller horizontal principal stress, Just llke in the isotropic case. It is concluded that hydraulic fractur&ng could be an effective stress measuring method in aniso~ tropic rock if certain precautions are tsken and sufficient tests are run.

In-situ stresses and stress around underground openings G.~Y, WM TO EW S, NA Analysis of variance applied to data obtained by means of a six-element borehole deformation gauge for stress determlnation.3F,5T,llB. APPLICATIONS OF ROCK MECHANICS,PROC.15TH SYMP.ROCK MECH., SOUTH DAKOTA. ASCE.1975, P323 -356 • Data from nine overcorlng tests for stress determination at the Sullivan Mine, British ColuMbia, have been sub. Jected to an analysis of varisace. The precision of the deformations measured with a slx-element gauge are estimated. Variability of rock properties as well as instrumental variance contributes to the variance of the measurements. Because of this factor, the standard leastsquares solution underestimates the standard errors of the stress components. To obtain realistic estimates &t is necessary to calculate mean deformations corresponding to three directions in each borehole and combine these in a new least squares solution. This new method m%y be applied to data from three-element deformation gauges. ~09 RUSSELL, JE Data reduction for a deephole device. 8F,IT,5R. APPLICATIONS OF ROCK MECHANICS,FROC.15TH SYMP.ROCK MECH., SOUTH DAKOTA.ASCE, 1975, I>293-322. An approximate snal~ical solution is developed to aid in the interpretation of data to be taken from a deephole stress measuring device currently under development at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. This device uses the tmdercorlng or strain relief principles Stresses rosy be computed from the measured strains relieved by using the solution presented herein. This solution holds for the case where the direction of the borehole is a principal direction. Limited experimental data agree relatively well with the analytical solution. Results obtained from the solution ms~ be used to provide information useful in the design of the device. It is ~hown that i) the ratio of strain gage grid length to trepanning hole diameter should be as S.~,~11 as possible, 2) the geometric accuracy of the gage pattern is extremely important I and 3) errors in Young's modulus are reflected direct],y in the stresses while results are ~ c h less sensitive to errors in Poisson's ratio. 510 HAINSON,BC UNIV .WISCONS IN ,MADISON, Wl, USA AVASI~I, JM UNIV .WISCONS IN, MADISON, W I,USA Stress measurements in anisotropic rock by hydraulic fracturing.

Grotmd movements were monitored for mines in Pennsylvania and West Virginia in which coal is mined by both room and pillar ~ d long~all methods. 3-D contour maps in which face position is considered an independent variable, were obtained. This field data is in good agreementwith the predictions of a 3.D finite element model incorporating a frictional yield criterion in the constitutive relaticm.

The present paper deals with the problem of earth response and in particular with the formation of the surface subsidence curve during soft grotmd tunnelling. In the light of a simple analysis in six available case studies sm attempt has been made to relate the progression of this curve with the tunnel advance. The results observed indicate the existence of such a relation. Auth.
