Surface settlement and horizontal movement are characterised in terms of curvature ard hcrizontal strain. These charts have been developed empirically from a review of mar~ case histories. The application of these charts to US conditions is investigated by comparing US field measurements with movements predicted by the charts. Observed settlements showed significantly hi@her curvatures and strains than were predicted.

198l, m~89-15o4 Current practices and concepts for establishir~ the tolerable settlement of buildings are reviewed. The role of differential settlement is emphasized. Most current tolerance limits are shown to be based on the works of Ske~spton, MacDor~id, Polshln, and T~kar. These criteria are compared with field observations of settlement and damage. A simple beam ~ n ~ o g y which was proposed by Burland and Wroth is used to illustrate factors that influence tolerable settlement. The effects of the critical tensile strain of the structural materials, the ~ H ratio of the building, the relative stiffness of the structure in shear and ber~ling, the longitudinal stiffness of the foumdation, and the shape of the settlement pattern are demonstrated. Different criteria are requlred far different types of structures. The allowable settlement is smallest for cases in which the settlement curve is concave downward. Auth.

823137 HOUSE DAMAGES DUE TO ROOM AND PILLAR MINING Photoelastic studies were used to develop a system of support for large rooms. From studies of stresses aroumd the roan and observations in the inelastic deformation zone below groumd, the following support s~stem was suggested: permanent supports with rock bolts and wire mesh, reir~ercing rods and a cement/sandstone mix. 823134 STATIC CALCULATIONS RELATING TO SUPPCRT ~ S

Geological factors of importance in underground excavations 823135 GEOLOGIC FACTORS IN PREDICTING COAL MINE ROOFROCK STABILITY IN THE UPPER KIT~ANNING COALBED, SOMerSET COUNI"/, PA laramcchione, A T; Ulery, J P; Hymn, D M US Bureau of Mines repOrt RI 8~75, 1981, ZIP Two distinct directional trends of unstable shale roof-rock in a mink working the Upper Kittarming Coalbed are delineated: one trend is associated with the sandstone-shale transition zone, the other with a fault system. These faults, small in comparison to the sandstone-shale transition zone, are difficult to delineate with a standard drilling progran~e. Trends of the transition zone associated with the sedimentary facies change are projected into urm~ined portions of the coalbed with the aid of exploration core data.
