A si~zplifled model of a prop for a longwall face inter-
acting with vlhrating roof under conditions of kinematic
and dynamic induction is presented. The process is des-
cribed mathematically and indications are given for its
possible solution by analogue computers. General guide-
lines for analogue modelling of the process are suggested.

PART B,1974,P981-989.
A general computer program is described which includes
the following nonlinear characteristics : presence of
Joints, bedding planes, foliations and other geologic
discontinuities; inability of a rock mass to sustain ten-
sion due to the presence of cracks and fissures; and elas-
tlc-plastic behaviour. The use of the program is illustra-
ted in a number of studies of well-documented case histor-
ies of underground openings, including the analysis of a
model test on lined openings in Jointed rock and the
analysis of T~mut I underground excavation.

The long-term behaviour of old structures, their settle-
merits, instantaneous rotations, and their response to
superimposed loads ere analysed. Little reliance can be
placed in a reserve resistance. In discussing famous
church@s, rotations due to the long-term effects of eccen-
tric loads and of differential settlements created by non-
uniform loading are described. The vulnerability of old
buildings to settlements caused by open excavations and
tunnelling, and the long-term stability of old tunnel
linings are also examined.

The desi~, construction and performance of Cow
Green embankment dam. 18F,BT,B5R.
GEOTECHN, V25,N3, S ~ T .1975,P555-580 •
The 25m high Cow Green embankment dam was constructed on
a deep boulder clay formation with the aid of sand drains.
The embankment design was based on a conventional factor
of safety of 1.5. The sand drains did not achieve the
predicted performance and the factor of safety in terms
of effective stress approached 1.0 at completion. This
condition does not represent failure in boulder clay
which is non-brlttle in undrained sheer, but rather, the
onset of relatively large displacements. The performance
of this e~0ankment supports the view that under these
circumstances stability may be best monitored by de-
formation measurements.

Earth-rock dams must be monitored to check that their
behaviour during construction is consistent with d e s i ~
assumptions, to erasure its continuing safety, to deter-
mine the effects of operational processes and to gather
basic data to assist in desi~as of future dams. Piezome-
ters, earth pressure cells, multiple vertical and horizon-
tee m o v ~ t installations, single point vertical movement
cells, inclinometers, foundatio~ movement installations,
extensometers, surface settl~m~t and deflection points,
crest mov~-~nt points and earthquake recorders are des-
cribed. Case histories of dams monitored by the Snowy
Mountains authority are presented.
