a~gre~tes. Both ~ e s o f a ~ e g a t e s were studied us-
ing a s y ~ e s i s of l ~ h o t ~ c s , experimental rock
defc~matlon azd petrofabrlcs. Study of uncemented
models was initiated with simple photoels~tic arrays,
culminatlmg with a three-disc model. Stresses in this
model were come,red with fracture patterns in three
rock discs. S~m~ler comparisons were performed for
larger arrays, some with circular, and others wi%h natur-
ally shaped elements. Work on uncemented a~gregates
was concluded with petrofabric study of experimen~mlly

The use of cloeod-loop, servocontrolled test systems to
obtain rock fracture encTgy measurements in unlaxial
tension, ~ s l o : ~ and direct shear is described. Results
of fractt~e e n c ~ tests performed on three rock types
are ;resented. A~alyais of the test results substantia-

types tested ~1~er four different load co~fig~rstions
indicate that fracture energy requirements depend on the
type of loading applied to the specimen. The ratio of
fracture energy required in uniaxial compression to that

sardstone to 560 for Barre granite.

Review of a ne~ shear stremgth criterion for rock

Methods of es~.~tlng the strer~h of weathered rock are
discussed amd the predicted values of shear strength
are in a~reement with experimental results from the lit-
erature, for bo%h weathered ani ur~eathered rough Joints.
A simple r o t ~ s s classification involving a sliding
scale of r o t ~ s s was used to aid the evaluation of the
sheer s t r e ~ of tu~illed Joints of intermediate rough-
hess. The presence of water is found to reduce the
shear s t r e ~ of rough unfilled Joints but hardly to
affect the s t r e ~ of planar surfaces. This result
is predicted by the peak stre~ah criterion for rough-
umdulatimg Joints which is proposed in this paper.

The distribution of stremgth in rocks was investigated
by meam~ of local probing of the surfaces and specimens
of polymlct sa~Istome, granite and white marble. On the
surfaces of the specimens re~ions of unlf~rm mineralogi-
cal ccmpositlon a ~ structural pattern were distimguished.
The aggregate hardness was determined on a coc~iinate
lattice marked on the specimen surfaces and then the
distributions of mineralogical composition and punch
hardness of the tested rocks were compared by referring
these ir~Idces to the co-c~xlir~tes on the surfaces of the
specimens. A regular periodic character in the variation
of stremgth in the rocks urger test was established.

LabQratory tests were carried out on the sheer resis-
tance of rubble-clay mixtures, tests were also carried
out in semimatural conditions (in a flmze). The re-
suits of the experiments were suBjected to statistical
treatment with the use of the correlation analysis
method. An analysis of the results of the investigation
shows that the values of the angles of internal frict-
ion of the rubble-clay soils increases with an increase
of the ruBble and gravel content and a decrease in the
values of specific cohesions.
