in its work. Formed in 1945 to deal with an urgent wartime problem involving soil and snow, the Conunittee is now performing its intended task of co -ordinating Canadian research studies concerned with the physical and mechanical properties of the terrain of the Dominion. It does this through subcommi ttees on Snow and Ice, Soil Mechanics, Muskeg, Permafrost, and Pipeline and Land Use Technology in Northern Terrain. The Committee consists of about twenty-five Canadians
appointed as individuals and not as representatives, each for a three -year term. Enquiries will be welcomed and should be addressed to: The Secretary, Associate Committee on Geotechnical Research, c/o Division of Building Research, National Research Council, Ottawa, Ontario.
This publication is one of a series being produced by the Associate Committee on Geotechnical Research of the National Research Council.

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM NO.1 00
OTTAWA MARCH 1971
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 December 1969 to December 197O.
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
Canadian 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 becaus e of possible general interest. Brevity in reporting the work has been attempted.

Pore Pressure Induced in Lake Agassiz Clays by Boundary Loads
The problem of predicting the pore pressure induced in the Lake Agassiz clays by different forms of boundary load is being approached by separating the induced pore pressure into a component associated with changes in the mean normal stress and a component
associated with a change in the resultant deviator stress. Pore pressure parameters relating the changes in the respective components of pore pressure and stress are being established by laboratory tests and are being verified by field measurements.

Methodology was developed for mapping peat properties for the Province of New Brunswick through reference to surface vegetation.
A "key" accounting for total land area was devised to give location and distribution of structural properties of peat for the low arctic and high sub-arctic. The key was adapted to
use for reference to mineral soil types and range of moisture content and ice properties in associated mineral terrain.
A programme was instituted in which soil conditions in permafrost country were correlated with effect of off-road vehicles:

Previous detailed field and laboratory studies
have indicated that there is not always a consistent agreement between field behaviour of loaded soil and the behaviour that might be predicted from laboratory tests. This investigation is being continued with detailed study into such factors as the elastic modulus and lateral permeability, and into the development of more rigorous theoretical formulations that can more accurately reflect the actual field behaviour during consolidation.

(b) Compressibility of rock fill is being investigated by studying the factors that control the compressive strength of

Sampling Disturbance of Sensitive Cemented Clay
The unconsolidated undrained, consolidated und rained and consolidated drained behaviour of a sensitive cemented clay sampled by four different sampling methods and by means of block samples cut within an excavation are being compared. Attention is being directed at both the total and effective stress -strain and strength soil parameters. Initially all samplers and 1abo ratory samples are 2" in diameter. Sample r and sample size will hopefully be varied in later investigations.
Primary Consolidation of Clays
Theories taking into account the variation of
compressibility and permeability during consolidation as well as with the thickness of the deposit have been developed and solutions obtained. The theory along with experimental results are being applied to the constant rate of strain consolidation test in the hope of reducing the time required to obtain the soils consolidation parameters to about one-tenth the presently required time.

In 1965 the Department of Highways, Ontario, constructed a full-scale experiment on Highway No. 10 north of Brampton. Thirty -fou r test sections are includ ed and the main objective is to determine the load bearing equivalencies of five
different types of road bases when laid in combination wi th asphaltic concrete surfacings and a sandy sub-base material on a light clay soil.

Stress Distribution and Deformation Below Rail Tracks
About one hund red million dollars a re spent annually in Canada on the maintenance of existing railroad tracks and underlying fill, forty per cent of which is attributable to the maintenace of the
ballast. Laboratory tests are being conducted to investigate the behaviour of the ballast alone and the ballast, sub-ballast and subgrade together under vibration and cyclic loading. Field measurements of the forces transmitted from the rails to the ties are planned so that full-scale laboratory model investigations can be conducted in the future.
Bearing Capacity of Muskegs
Fully ins trumented field tests are being employed to study the failure mechanism of very soft organic deposits loaded on a circular area at the surface. Flexible instrumentation to record lateral

In the development of a transmission tower
structure which would take up less right-of-way space and be more pleasing to the eye, the need to analyze the lateral resistance of a narrow based structure arose. The state of the art in regard to lateral resistance both in respect to total stability and allowable deflection was reviewed. Model tests in sand were carried out in the laboratory to investigate some of the uncertainties in the theories. A soil pressuremeter was used in the field to assist in a better
evaluation of the soil parameters in respect to lateral resistance. Full-scale field lateral loading tests are planned in the future.
