A study of slopes in the Sydney Basin indicates land-
slide occurrence and long-term stability are both gover-
ned by the residual shear strength of the clay soils de-
rived from Triassic shales. On the Wianamatta shales of
the Razorback Range, landslides may only occur on slopes
in excess of lldeg. The average value of ~'residual mea-
sured in direct shear was 22deg. while C'residual values
were small but positive.

Two processes which produce the stick-slip instability
instability in the frictional sliding of rock have been
identified. These are: (1) fracture of asperities at
the onset of sliding, and (2) creep at the sliding
surface leading to a progressive increase in real area
of contact with time. The second process produces an
increase in friction with increased time of stationary
contact or decreased sliding velocity, and results from
stress corrosion cracking sz~d/or hydrolytic weakening.
The Bowden and Tabor adhesion theory, when modified to
include asperity creep, adequately predicts the fric-
tional behaviour of rock when brittle fracture of aspe-
rities is inhibited. Auth.

Two time domains for modulus increase have been identi-
fied, pr~,~ry and secondary. Prt.~-y is the same as for
prlmary consolidation and secondary is the open interval
after primary in which modulus increases continuously
with time. It was found that all cohesive soils exhibit
secondary modulus increase. The rate of secondary increase
is related to the undrained shearing strength and the
initial void ratio of the soil. An empirical equation is
presented to show this relationship. Thixotropy best
explains secondary modulus increase. Auth.

Creep testing of samples of sylvinite, carnallite, halite
and tachyhydrite, Sergipe Basin, East-Central Brazil.
M.S .THESIS,STANFORD UNIV.USA, 197~.
Thirteen samples of salt, including sylvinite, carnal-
lite, halite, and tachyhydrite, from am evaporite se-
quence in the Sergipe Basin of east-central Brazil,
were tested in order to determine probable behaviours
of the salts near mine openings so that various mining
methods c~n be evaluated. Test specimens were drilled
from the samples and tested under triaxial creep con-
ditions, in which axial load and confining pressure
were constant and axial strain was monitored as a
function of time. Auth.

Laboratory experiments on the effect of temperature and

are reported. The results indicate that s~w;lated frac°
tures in porous rock h o e a higher percemtage rate of
permeability decline with depth than whole rock, and
experience a greater degree of perm~nemt deformation
with depth. They are effectively healed when fracture
permeability al~oeches that of the whole rock, and
