Typical blast patterns are illustrated, showing how they were adapted for blasting heavily Jointed rock. The influence on drilling and charging patterns of the plant used is also discussed. 816182 SPHERICAL CE~RGE CRATERING - FLANE AND ANGLE GEOMETRY INVOLVING SM~IL-SCALE ANGLE AND ROW TESTS MacLachlan, R R; Salrmm, D E; Barclay~ R J CIM Bull, V74, N829, May 1981, P81-85 The ~est objectives were: (i) to observe the c h a ~ e in single-charge cratering perfc~,,a~e between plane-surface and angle geometry, (2) to ideztify the optimum perfcm~ance of single charges cratering to a plane surface, craterimg from a bench sub-grade position and cratering from a condition of zero sub-grade or stope wall geometry, and (3) to observe the performamce of row-of-charges craterizg to an angular surface at various row burials and spacing. The row charge burial and spacing dimensions were to be expressed in simple ~merical multiples of single-charge depth-of-burial data. 816183 SWEDISH CAUTIOUS BLAST EXCAVATION AT TEE C S ~ 0NVI TEST SITE IN COLORADO Holmberg, R; HusTAnllid, W Swedish Detonic Research Foundation, Report DS 1981:1, 16 Feb 19@1, ZIP Describes the excavation of a test roam at the Colorado School of Mines Experimental Mine in Idaho Springs, Colorado, utillslng the techniques of Presplitting ani smooth blasting.

An alternative to strain gauge methods for measuring stress waves in rock is to measure the res~orme in a water filled borshole. A Lagr~nglan finite difference computer code has been used to investigate the difficulties associated with the me~cd. An idealized plane strain case (infinitely long horehcle) has been studied. Curves for pressure amd particle velocity versus time in the borehole are cc~pared with the corresponding curves on the original stress wave. The ccm~tations show that the method is feasible for measuring the peak pressure of the stress wave. Auth. Avail: The Foundation, Box 32058, S-126 ii, Stockholm, Sweden

The cutting of brown coal by bucket wheel excavators has been simulated in the laboratory by the use of an apparatus incorporating a small cutting tooth. This introdmctory pilot testing programme has indicated that the effect of vibrating the cutting tooth is to cause a reduction in the magnitude of the cu~tting force.
This report presents the results of an investiEation of inclined roof bolts, anchored over pillars, in room-and-pillar coal mines susceptible to shear failures of the roof. ~Ithough the field data do not support this contention, it is believed on the basis of analyses and other work that inclined roof bolts do offer potential under some circumstances.

Summarises the results of investigation into the ~ffect of initial stress az~ the stress changes taklr~ place at the anchorage horizon on roof bolts. In the laboratory h~irostatlc stress fields were induced and bolt load loss with time observed. s~atlstical analysis of data shewed that the stress field at the anchcr~e horizon has a considerable influence on mine roof bolts, ie the higher the stress level, the higher the anchorage efficiency. 816192 INORGANIC C ~ FOR MINE ROOF-BOLT GROOvfING Simpson, R E; Fraley, J E; Cox, D Jl US Bureau of Mines relxm't RI 8494, 980, 32P Relx~-ts tests of inorganic cements to replace resin grouts at a lower cost whilst rets/ning the advantages of a grouted bolt.
