The poor engineering properties of peaty soil are unfavourable for engineering construction. Based on field test datum, the mechanical properties of peaty soil in different buried depth have been analyzed. The result shows that the shear strength of shallowly buried peaty soil reduce gradually with the increase of burial depth, however, which increase gradually along with the depth for deep buried peaty soil. The factors affecting the meso-structure of soil, for example, stress state, the stress history, the stress path, the variation of groundwater, chemical field, biological field and physical field is discussed.

Soil engineering properties can be improved employing different methods. Among them is mixing soil with tire derived additives (TDA). TDAs generally increase some parameters of mixture such as damping ratio, permeability, ductility and also in some cases shear strength. Various properties of TDAs from mechanical properties to their geometry can affect the mixture behavior. In this paper using the YADE platform, simulations of triaxial tests on sand tire mixtures are presented. To take compressibility into consideration, each rubber crumb particle is made of several spheres connected elastically to each other. For sand particle generation the clump technique was employed. Shapes of both sand and rubber particles are inspired from real grains. As properties of sand and rubber are different, especially Young modulus, rubber sand interaction is considered as soft rigid contact. Therefor harmonic average and arithmetic average was used to compute contact Young modulus (and then stiffness). The model was validated by comparison of results of triaxial tests simulation on pure rubber sample with literature ones which both exhibited linear stress-strain curve. Then triaxial tests with different sand to rubber ratio were simulated to see whether harmonic average or arithmetic average gives the best match to literature. The results show shear strength reduces by decreasing of sand to rubber ratio. This is the same as what is reported in literature.

Physical and mechanical properties of rocks are the fundamental factors affecting the slope stability, the rock physical and mechanical properties of the Luming molybdenum mine were tested and analyzed in the laboratory. The results can provide us the basic data and reference to do numerical simulation and physical simulation of slope stability. The experimental results showed that: the greater the depth of rock of Luming molybdenum mine, the greater the density becomes,so as the freeze-thaw coefficient; the rock strength complies with the general rule; uniaxial tensile strength of dried rocks is much larger than water-saturated rocks; various rocks compressive strength σ3 rose up with σ1 rising; the shear strength of the rocks containing weak structure surface is far less than the shear strength of the intact rocks.

Rock pile is a typical kind of adverse engineering geologic phenomenon in mountainous engineering construction. In this paper, according to the main factors influencing the engineering properties of rock pile, the classification of the rock pile are studied. Based on the physico- mechanical properties of rock pile, the multi-hierarchy classification method is proposed. The suitability of the process is verified by classifying the typical rock pile on the Shui-ma(from Shuifu to Maliu Bay) expressway. The relevant results can provide reference to other classification study of rock pile.

Rock pile is a typical kind of adverse engineering geologic phenomenon in mountainous engineering construction. In this paper, the Shui-ma(from Shuifu to Maliu Bay) expressway subgrade of rock pile in Yunnan Province is analyzed, and the mechanical properties of the rock pile are studied through indoor experiments. The results indicate that the main factor determining the engineering properties of rock pile is the particle composition, while the most influencing factor is the content of coarse particles. The relevant results can provide reference to engineering properties study of rock pile for other place.

Even though many early workers had suggested the use of lower voltages to increase topographic contrast and to reduce specimen charging and beam damage, we did not usually operate in the conventional scanning electron microscope at low voltage because of the poor resolution, especially of bioligical specimens. However, the development of the “in-lens” field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) has led to marked inprovement in resolution, especially in the range of 1-5 kV, within the past year. The probe size has been cumulated to be 0.7nm in diameter at 30kV and about 3nm at 1kV. We have been trying to develop techniques to use this in-lens FESEM at low voltage (LVSEM) for direct observation of totally uncoated biological specimens and have developed the LVSEM method for the biological field.

To many social theoreticians, the population explosion, particularly in the developing nations presents a crippling threat to their developmental pro¬cesses. Their argument's validity rests mainly on the assumption that expected economic progress is swallowed up by unbalanced rise of numbers in the population. The book being reviewed deals mainly with this subject matter and is divided into two parts, each containing three articles contributed by various researchers. Part one, 'The Social context of Fertility Decision' is focused on analyzing the role of factors affecting fertility at the micro-level decision making process. The first article 'Fertility decision in rural India' by Vinod Jainath, examines the applicability to rural India of various models of the process of fertility decision making and finds most of these wanting with respect to the Indian social situation. While analyzing the fertility patterns of Rural India, he points out the positive need for larger families among the poor small farmers mainly due to labour supply considerations. The author argues that unemployment and under¬employment actually motivate the poor to have more children as it better ensures their economic security in their old age. As the chances of gaining employ¬ment for their offspring diminish, they are induced to increase the total number of children in order that atleast one will be able to support them. Thus a vicious circle of poverty arises in large families because of each of the parents wanting to increase their children's chances of employment by ultimately reducing the overall employment opportunities even further and exacerbating their poverty.
