air-filled-void volume was increased from two to eight per cent. A large difference between the ~ c and the quasi-static uuiaxial strain curves is observed. At a given stress, the static measurements show about two per cent greater compression. Auth.

Figs,Tabls,Ref s. DEP. NAT. TECH. INF. SERV.USGS-474-1~I, 1972,41P. A radio-telemetry seismograph network of seven stations was operated from March 1970 through Jsx,,A~y 1971 in the Fish Lake Valley area on the Ca] 1~ornia-Nevada boundary, at t h e nurthern end o f Death Valley-FurD~ce Creek fault zoner Local seismic activity was monitured for six urderground nuclear explosions. No effect of the explosions on the seismicity of the area was detected. Epicenters were determined fur 96 earthquakes in the vicinity of the seismic network. Most of the shocks lie in two clusters, one 2 to 3 km from the fault zone ard including a tremd subparallel with it, ard the other 6 to l0 km from the fault zone. Depths computed for shocks inside the network ranged from near surface to ll.3 kin: Fault-plane solutions for earthquakes near the fault zone, though inconclusive, point to a predomimance of rlght-lateral atrike-sl~Lp motion along the direction of the main fault.

DEP. NAT.TECH. INF. SERV. NVO-II63- 237, MAY, 1973, 50P. A scale model experiment was conducted to study the effect of topography on ground motion for incident P-waves. Results of a parameter study indicate topographic effects to be weakly dependent on slope and angle of incidence. C%lalitative agreement was found between the model results and field results observed on a nearly two-dlmensional feature (NASA Mountain near Beatty, Nevada) where underground nuclear explosion ground motions were recorded.

SEEV.UCRL-51B02,1973, 35P. One-dimensional transient two-phase, two-component flow in a porous medium was investigated analytically. The flow is described by the use of a continuity equation for each component, a momentum equation for each phase, the first law of thermodynamics, state equations, and relations for the transport properties. Local thermodynamic equilibrium was assumed. The effects of condensation and evaporation are included. A computer program to describe the flow of an air-water mixture is presented. Results of calculations relevant to the flow of cavity gas following an urderground nuclear explosion are given. Auth. 522 SCHEUERLEI N, H UNIV. MUNICH, D Simulation of sediment transport in hydraulic models. Intern. Symposium on River Mechanics, Bangkok, Thailand, Jan. 197B. 2F,1T. ASIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BANGKOK, THAILAND, 1973,10P. In hydraulic models the demands for similarity of hydraulic roughness and sediment motion often lead to a distortion of both the model and the sediment. From the model laws it can be shown that a conflict can arise in the model, between the need for simulating hydraulic roughness and sediment motion at the same time. The paper describes the solution of this problem by using two different model sediments simultaneously.
