    Notes: Abstract The complex permittivities of 40 compacted natural clayey till specimens at various water content, density and pore fluid salinity as independent variables are analyzed. A multiple linear regression model is constructed and the statistical analyses for the relative permittivity (ε') and dielectric loss (ε '')-regression equations in the frequency range from 200 to 400MHz are performed. It is concluded that the multiple linear regression model of the complex permittivity is highly significant. The coefficient of determination (R 2) and standard error (SE) of the linear regression equations vary with frequency. At 200MHz for ε ' -regression and 300MHz for ε '-regression, all three independent soil variables are significant at a probability of 0.95. The complex permittivity regression model with two variables at 250MHz for ε 'and 350 for ε '-regression equations. Upon further study on the effect of soil mineralogy to the complex permittivity, the results obtained in this study may serves as the principle of the characterization of subsurface and detection of soil and groundwater contamination.

    Notes: A new semi-analytical solution for the transport of a conservative contaminant species in a fractured medium having a regular two- or three-dimensional fracture network is presented. The application of the technique and some of the practical implications arising from an examination of contaminant migration in fractured systems is discussed. Particular consideration is given to the effects of Darcy velocity, fracture spacing, matrix porosity, dispersivity and the mass of contaminant available for transport. The implications of uncertainty with respect to fracture opening size and ground-water velocity is also discussed and it is shown that provided one can obtain a reasonable estimate of the hydraulic gradient and hydraulic conductivity for the rock mass, uncertainty regarding the magnitude of the opening size and the groundwater velocity does not have a significant effect on predicted contaminant migration for the class of problems being considered.

    Notes: A technique is developed for the analysis of multiple underream anchor systems resting in an elastic soil. This technique may be used to consider anchor systems involving arbitrary anchor inclination and depth beneath the soil surface, as well as arbitrary number, shape, size and spacing of underreams. The approach is largely analytical in nature and involves only a fraction of the computation required for a finite element analysis.Consideration is given to the effects of anchor depth and inclination to the soil surface, and the spacing and number of underreams upon the elastic response of anchor systems. On the basis of the result from this study, a simple, approximate method for estimating the response of multiple underream anchors is proposed. This approach involves the use of several interaction charts, which are presented in the paper, and can be used as a hand method for estimating the load-displacement behaviour of quite general anchor systems to sufficient accuracy for most practical purposes. The use of the approximate approach is illustrated by an example.

    Notes: A general method is presented for the analysis of soil-structure interaction problems using the initial stress finite element approach. The soil and structure will be treated as separate bodies related only by nodal forces at the soil-structure interface. Provision is made for plastic failure of both soil and structure, shear failure at the interface, and breakaway of the structure from the soil.

    Notes: Two analytic closed form solutions for the one-dimensional advection-dispersion equation are presented. These solutions take account of changes in surface concentration with time as mass is transported into the soil. The first solution is developed for the case of rapid landfill construction. The second solution considers a time-dependent mass input to the landfill. The use of these solutions is illustrated by a number of examples and it is shown that consideration of the finite mass of contaminant within the landfill can significantly affect the concentration profiles beneath the landfill.

    Notes: An analytical model for the constant-head pumping test is developed for a partially penetrating well that has a finite thickness skin, and intersects a single vertical fracture. In the model, the fracture is fully confined and flow occurs only in the fracture. The model is developed using Laplace transform and finite Fourier transform methods. The model is to be used for analysing well test data from vertically fractured media and for verifying numerical models. Dimensionless curves are used to study the effects of a finite thickness skin and a partially penetrating wellbore. In the presence of a finite thickness skin, or a partially penetrating wellbore, a typical flow response for the constant-head pumping test has three distinct periods of flow corresponding to small-, intermediate- and large-time. Small- and large-time approximations are presented for the model. For tests where the wellbore is fully penetrating, or the partial penetration ratio is known, these approximations can be used to analyse field data.

    Notes: A general method is presented for the analysis of horizontally embedded anchors in an elastic soil. Provision is made in the analysis for the consideration of anchor shape, layer depth, anchor-soil interface condition, breakaway of the anchor from the underlying soil and interaction between groups of anchors.Application of the analytical technique is illustrated for strip and circular anchors, and these solutions are presented in the form of influence charts which may be used directly in hand calculations to predict the elastic load deflection behaviour, of anchor plates for a wide variety of material and geometric conditions.

    Notes: A semi-analytic solution for the migration of dilute reactive contaminant species in a fractured medium having a one-, two- or three-dimensional fracture network is presented. The application of the technique to practical problems is discussed and illustrated by examples. The effects of sorption in the matrix and on the surface of the fractures are considered for a range of parameters. It is demonstrated that the synergistic interaction of the various parameters is such that the effect of changing a single variable may not be immediately obvious and a designer should perform computations for the range of expected parameters to determine the maximum impact. For example, it is shown that it is not necessarily conservative to consider only one-dimensional or only three-dimensional diffusion into the matrix; which of these cases is most critical will depend on the values of other parameters. It is also shown that an effective leachate collection system may significantly reduce the impact of those contaminants which do escape into the fractured media.

    Description: An analysis of the stability of underground openings in weak rock is important to the design of the support requirements near the tunnel face. A detailed three-dimensional (3D) elastoplastic finite element study of face stability and the corresponding stresses around the face is conducted for a large-diameter tunnel in southern Ontario. The effect of the rock mass strength and high horizontal stresses on the tunnel deformation, stability, and distribution of tangential stresses at the tunnel circumference is investigated. To facilitate comparison with plane strain analysis, 3D results are presented for several cross sections across the tunnel. The effect of tunnel construction sequence on the predicted results is discussed.Key words: weak rock, tunnelling, horizontal stresses, three-dimensional, finite element, excavation, face stability, modeling.
