'(670) :i. Supporliiiji vertical slot walls with bentonite suspension. Reviewed after Meardi, G. by J. Márton, Eng. (for the Hungarian text see pp. 280) In soil having the grain size distribution as in Fig. 1, experiments were carried with a bentonite suspension found suitable for supporting cohesionless soils as well. The model used is illustrated in Fig. 2. Typical cases are shown in Fig. 3. Stability of the wall was not ensured unless the watcrlevel was maintained constant. BOOK REVIEW 1. Ivczdi, Árpád: Uodciiinechuiiik (Soil Mechanics), Vols. 1 and 2. Beviewed by Dr. G. Öttős., (for the Hungarian text see pp. 284) The two volumes of the book published jointly by the Publishing House of the Academy, Budapest and VEB Verlag fiir Bauwesen, Berlin, contains 424 + 450 pages, 354 + 421 Figures and 35 + 48 Tables. As pointed out in the preface by Prof W. Kinze, the book reflects the present development of soil mechanics. The approach derived from German literature, Soviet and western sources as well as Hungarian experience is reflected therein. Vol. 1. is devoted to the structure, classification of soils, physical soil properties, fundamental laws of water movement, strength and deformation charecteristics, states of stress and the determination of earth pressure. In Vol. 2 problems relating to the stability of slopes and embankments, drainage of earth structures, load bearing capacity of footings, settlements, interactions between soil and structure, load bearing of piles, soil mechanics of road construction, the exploration of soil- and groundwater conditions are discussed. Besides the high standard of treatment, special interest is devoted to the philosophy displayed towards present development and further research in soil mechanics.
