Symposium; In New Hca~izons in Rock Mechanics. 9F, 2T, 8R. PROC.14TH SYMPOSIT24 ON ROCK MECHANICS, ASCE, NEW YORK, 1973, P247- 261. A finite-element model which includes Joint friction amd cohesion is presented for the analysis of bedded formations. The intact rock in each layer is modelled by a continuum element while a separate joint element is placed between the layers and at possible fracture planes. Under the action of body forces, the beds separate and cracks are sllowed to form for different values of Joint friction and cohesion; The stability of the imnediate roof is examined for a typical mine opening in a bedded deposit; Comparisons are made with analyses that use elementary beam theory and co~nents are made concerning the magnitude of the factors of safety that exist for the roof structures; Auth. 1447 MORFEL~, CO Storage of oil in unlined caverns in different types of rock.

Open stopes with pillars or raises with crosscuts was the method of mining used until a few years This method was phased out in the mid 1960's in favour of longwalling. Today more than 60 per cent of the production comes from a drift sad pillar method. This method is described in detail. Rock mechanics investigations are reported, the technique for measuring the state of stress in rock masses and the load on pillars being by means of Leeman's three-dimensional cells and doorstoppers. The types of roof bolts in use-both expansion and epoxy types, are described, and the blasting policy, ventilation problems, and surveying equipment sre briefly described. Crushing operations are discussed anl the concentrator and smelter are both fully described. 145B STRATON, JW Underground mining of coal. Annual review for 1973o 1F.

Shortwall mining has proved successful and new shearer techniques and stable hole machines ~ m i z e tail entry maintenance in lorgwall systems. Other mining systems have proved encouraging, e.g. hydraulic mining in a thick pitching coal seam and hlghwall anger drilling.

Idaho, 1973. 13F, 1T, 5R. IDAHO DEPT. HIGHWAYS, NOV. 1973, P257- 275 • The performance of roadways and pavements over a buried structure as well as the structure itself is affected by construction techniques. The performance of pavements over box culverts with shallc~ fill are very dependent on the soil type and backfill procedures used, If the proper soil type and density are not required and achieved, cracks will form in the pavement surface above the culvert. Procedures and soil proparties are outlined in this paper which will help reduce the cracking in the pavement. Construction procedures are also very important in the installation of concrete and corrugated metal culverts. Lack of proper backfill can cause the load carried by the culvert to be increased significantly. The deflection of corrugated metal pipe is directly related to the soil backfill density. Effects of soil type, density and moisture content are outlined. Auth. 1456 VASII~, ~M Plough extraction of steep protective seams (0.2 to 0.45m). In Russian. UGOL,V49, N1,1974, P26-31.
