SOIL MECH.FOD-~XATION ENG.VlO, NB,1973,P208-210. Since both plastic anl elastic strains depend upon the physicomechanical ~roperties of the soil, it is assigned that the structural qualities of soils can be predicted on %he basis of vibrating probe test data. This assumption is checked by investigation of three sandy soil mixtures. This investigation confirms the promise of the vibrating probe technique as a rapid method of shear strength determination. 867 ROCHA,M LAB. NAC.ENG. CIVIL,LISBON, P Integral sampling in boreholes.

Conditions in the rock mass were simulated in laboratc~y by superposing different kinds of rock layers, separated by Joints, some of which remained opened, others were filled up with clayey materials of different consistencies. The method yields oriented samples of rock masses.

VibroSeis system was eomducted in support of the Deep Tunnel PrOject of The Metropolitan Sanltary District of Greeter Chica~o to map certain ah~1]ow rock strata in which extensive t ~ 1 1 i n g was planned for relief of storm water overflow in the combined s e w ~ system of the Chicago area. The capabilities of this seismic system for operating under extreme conditions of ambient noise without disturbance to the urban envlrorment made the method ideal for providing detailed density of control at a much lower cost than ar~ other means. Results were relatively precise and have been largely confirmed by drillimg ard construction of tunnels in the area. Auth.

The National Electric Energy Agency (ENEL) Italy has developed some geophysical methods of testing dam foundations: There are two methods, now used in Bergamo: 1. The microseismic method and 2. Sonic logging. The de~ree of soumdmess of the rock is determined making reference to the ~ropagation of the waves where rock is urdisturbed. The methods give a clear indication of weathered rock zones or faulted and fissured rocks.

PROCEED.2 CONGRESS, INT~N~T.SOC.ROCK MECH.BELGRAD, 1970,V4,1974, P207-208. Natural seismic-acoustic phencmema of a rock massif have been observed for some time to forecast the pressure effects of t h e steep vein at a depth of 1500 m. The conclusion drs~n from this research ir~icates that the frequency of the seismlc-acous~ic activity of a rock massif cannot be used as the only one parameter for a successful forecast of pressures in a mine. The next step taken was to analyse t h e seismic activities using comptlters. This method proved to be more successful but also more expensive.

HE,GRAD, 1970,V4,19~4, P235 • In Irevious papers l~esented at the Congress, a comparison between static smddymsmlc You~g's moduli was given. Paper N7 gives two properties which can be established in the laboratory; Both concern the velocity of waves umdmr shear. 1. In fissured or porous rock the wave velocity is independent of the fluid contents and its rm~ure; 2. In fissured rocks the dynamic shear modulus is equal to the static shear modulus. This phenomeraaon makes the measurement of wave velocity under shear much more useful then the measurement of longitudinal wave velocities •
