The article presents a developed mathematical model for calculating the granulometric composition of the blasted rock mass based on the mechanism of action of an explosion in rocks, a mathematical description of the determination of natural units (blocks) in the rock mass, the relationship between the degree of rock fragmentation and the size of the units and the definition of sections of the controlled pressure zone.

Although the literature provides a reasonable range of information concerning the fracture toughness of relatively hard rocks, there is virtually no data for saturated soft rocks of uniaxial compressive strengths less than about 10 MPa. To gain some insight into the plane strain fracture toughness of such a soft rock for use in the numerical modelling of crack propagation during pressuremeter testing, a large number of laboratory tests were conducted. The material used in these tests was a synthetic soft rock that modelled soft mudstone rocks reasonably accurately. This paper describes the test techniques adopted and the results obtained. The variation of fracture toughness with loading rate and with size and shape of the test specimens is presented and discussed. On the basis of these results, guidelines are suggested for the determination of plane strain fracture toughness of a soft rock. Key words: fracture mechanics, fracture toughness, laboratory testing, soft rock, weak rock.

Resistivity method is widely used in shallow surface geophysics. Capacitive resistivity is one of techniques which help to extend usage of resistivity method for environmentc where galvanic coupling of electrodes is difficult, for instance, frozen ground, hard rocks and engineered structures (roads, railways and others). This technique allows fast field work without galvanic coupling electrodes. The main problem is complicated calculation of forward resistivity for simple model. In results, the limitations to the usage of the technique are not clear in theoretical and practical aspects. The authors determinate the limits of electrical properties and distances for capacity resistivity.

The effective determination of the field and place of application of the products resulting from stone working is a compulsory requirement in the building activity and is solved by laboratory analyses. This article presents details on the determination, by non-destructive method, of the compression strength of the rocks, both "in situ" (in the deposit) and in a laboratory. The originality of the method consists in simplifying the determination process of this parameter, a method that is in agreement with the systems proposed to be applied in the European Community. The method has the advantage of being applicable in quarries, where knowledge of this parameter leads to a rationalizing of the working and more especially to a selection of the blocks by quality criteria. The method is applicable to all categories of natural consolidated hard rocks, being a viable alternative for deposits with an inhomogeneous composition as to quality and structure.

It is now possible to determine proper motions of high-velocity objects in such a way as to obtain with some accuracy the velocity vector relevant to the Sun. If a potential field of the Galaxy is assumed, one can compute an actual orbit. A determination of the velocity of the globular clusterωCentauri has recently been completed at Greenwich, and it is found that the orbit is strongly retrograde in the Galaxy. Similar calculations may be made, though with less certainty, in the case of RR Lyrae variable stars.
