TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM NO. 97
OTTAWA FEBRUARY 1970
An Annual Report of the Canadian Section is issued each year and this Report is, therefore, a summary of the activities of Canadian members of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering for the period June 1968 to December 1969.
It is published for the purpose of keeping Canadians informed of those soil mechanics investigations which are being conducted in their own country. In this way, it will assist in overcoming the natural handicap offered by the widespread geographical distribution of soil mechanics work in Canada.
The Report includes a list of publications by members of the Can ad i an Section. In addition, it includes a list of known thesis topics presently under study and a list of suggested research projects. It is hoped that these lists will develop into useful sources of information. A special effort has been made to reduce reports on routine work. It is probable, however, that some of the work noted was of a routine nature but was considered worth including because of possible general interest. Brevity in reporting the work has been attempted .

Canadian National Railways
An economical standardized method of reducing the differential heaving of existing railway track by application of granular salt has been developed. Average effectiveness of the treatment in all soils and climates is 70% for two years. Means of increasing and extending the effectiveness are under study.
The usefulness of petrographic examination is being evaluated for determination of the suitability of rock for use as railway ballast.
A co rnpa.riso n of the reliability of standard absorption, Los Angeles abrasion and sodium sulphate soundness tests in predicting the performance of rock as railway ballast is being made. Fo r this purpose samples of 10 rock types have been tested in the laboratory and corresponding ballast sections laid in a track for regular observation.

Pore Pressure Induced in Lake Agassiz Clays by Boundary Loads The pr o b Ie m of predicting the pore pressure induced in the Lake Agassiz clays by different fo r rns of boundary load is being approached by separating the induced pore pres sure into a c orripo n errt associated with changes in the rn e an no rrn al stress and a co rnpo ne nt associated with a change in the resultant deviator stress.

Work is being carried out on stress -strain-time behaviour of r erno u ld e d cohesive soils using temperature controlled simple shear. Ontario Hydro - Research Division
A trial use of styrofoam insulations was made for a transformer pad foundation at Ear Falls in northwestern Ontario. A
3-inch layer of insulation was placed about 2 feet below the pad which was constructed at about ground level. Instrumentation was provided which consisted of thermocouple temperature measurements, heave measurements and frost depth measurements. No appreciable heaving 0 ccurred although temperatures did go slightly below freezing immediately below the styrofoam slab. In future installations a
thickness of 4 inches will be used.
A test installation consisting of concrete, wood and steel footings was placed at a sub -station site near Newmarket to measure frost adheave stresses. The test footings were about 12 inches in diameter and extended 4 feet below ground level. Each footing was anchored with a multi -helix anchor. The heaving forces were measured by use of a instrumented bolt which was fastened to the anchor extension rod which passed through a duct in the test footing.
Underground Cable Backfill Studies
A field study of the thermal properties of special cable backfill materials was continued. This consisted of hot-mix and
cold-mix asphalt mixtures and the use of special cooling procedures such as a porous plastic soaker pipe and special freon cooling duct. A simulated cable was used which consisted of a 3-inch pipe which is heated internally to provide the required thermal environment. The materials were placed around the pipe in a shallow trench.

In 1965, the Ontario Department of Highways constructed a full-s cale experiment on Highway No. 10 north of Brampton. Thirty-four test sections are included and the main objective is to determine the load bearing equivalencies of five different types of road bases when laid in combination with asphaltic concrete surfacings and a sandy sub -base material on a light clay soil.
Ontario Hydro - Research Division Transmis sion Tower Foundations
A field testing programme was carried out on a transmission line in the Toronto area to investigate the possibility of using vertical grouted anchors to provide vertical uplift capacity for pad and pier footings. Anchors of varying depth and diameter were placed and tested in vertical uplift. Several drilling methods for placing the anchors were compared. A very high uplift capacity was found in the dense till soil. The method appears feasible and may result in appreciable savings by reducing the depth of excavation for conventional pad and pier foundations.
Instrumentation of Structures
The foundation instrumentation programme at the Lambton GS was continued. This consisted of pore pressure and
s ettl errie nt measurements at the coal pile, the bucket-wheel reclairner and a large transformer. The soil at this site is fairly compressible and very deep. The short-term and long-term behaviour of the
structures is being evaluated using the SEPOL (ICES) system of settlement analysis.
