The acoustic-velocity measuring sonde can be used in either water-filled or dry AX-size boreholes, oriented in any direction I to a depth of 53 feet. Modification will per. mit use of the device to a depth of 200 feet. The results of prel~m~usry tests in water-filled and dry boreholes in a Manitoba nickel mine indicate that discontinuities such as cracks and fractures are located easily and precise/~,. Measurements of compressional-wave velocity and attenuation correlate very well with the rock quality observed from the corresponding core. For the particular bore_holes tested, the response of the logging device app. eared to be more influanced by the presence of Inhomogeneities than by change in lithology.

PROC.2ND INT.CONGRESS IAEG,SAO PAUID 1974,PAPER V-5, V2, 1975, 5P. A detailed field and laboratory research program identified three principal geotechnical problems due to rockfalls in the area affecting a section of the BR-I16 high. way. The presence of one percent of montmorillonite in the Botucatu sandstone causes exfoliation Joints which, together with three tectonic Joint sets, break the formation into large slabs and blocks. Higher percentages of montmorillonite at the top of the Morro P e l ~ o Formation cause basal fractures in the Botucatu Sandstone and subsequent removal of support. Variations in grain size end montmorillonite percentages in the Morro Pelsda Formarion cause uneven erosion rates leaving the resistant sandstone beds as cantilevers which eventually fall. Engineering solutions must be based on these geotechnical data. Auth. 571 SCHAIXWYK, A The application of computer techniques for the mmaipulation and storage of exploratory borehole data. IF,1T. PROC.2ND INT.CONGRESS IAEG, SAO PAULO,197h,PAPER VI-22, V2,1975, 6P. A method is described by which field core logging for engineering geological purposes is simplified end the engineering geologist is relieved from cumbersome end time consuming tasks by employing a computer program to facilitate storage of data, conversion to metric units, calculation of percentages s ~ l e (material) loss, core loss (or RQD) and water loss and finally to sort and neatly print the information in standard comprehensible form.
