1. The Sectian on ~,agticity theory at the Institute of M�ehanics ha~c~ paid
great attention to working out the problems that possess essQntial signifi~;ance for
F
1 h drotechnical ~tructures~ es eci.al robloms on the stability
~ the planning of large y , p p
of foundations, slopes of earth excavations and fills a~1d also problems on ground
pressures against retaining walks.
~ As a result of investigations by V. V. Sokolavskiy and associates at the Section
b e develo ed for Basil obtainin numerical results on stability
new methods have e n p y g
of hydratechnical structures raised on faundata~ons of fr~.able and cohesive grounds,
in certain cases in the farm of graphs and tables.
xn ~.9~1 they developed a thearyr of limit equilibrium of noncahesive grounds,
and began to develop a theory of the elastics-plastic state of grounds; in this new
problem encouraging results are being obtained for the first time
Theoretical. and exilerimental investigations in a numb�r of other important prob~
E lams were conducted in aooperat~.on with the Leningrad Polytechna.c institute imeni
i
'r M, 1. Kalinin; in particular, methods for designing alluvial dams were developed.

The ~I~ydrapra~ect~ took over that paxt of the work concluded in l~~l relating to
investigations of the filtration regime during alluvium, which take drainage devices
into consideration.

2. During ~~he discueaian after the ascend lectuxe, Candidate of Teclara~,ca1
f Sciences P~ K~.u~in pointed out the necessity of extensive invest~,gat~.ons in the
field of the spatial prob~.em of alastiaity theory, and espec~.ally emphasised that
those investigations must net be limited to separate experiments, whale results are
~ not always amenable to engineer practice.
i
I Corresponding-Member of Academy of Sciences Ukrainian SSR, x. Yap Shtayexman
expressed a numb�r of comments on possib~.lities of further refin�mont and simpli-
fication of methods for designing earthen hydrotechnical structures and their
foundations.
Engineer V. Fedorov (VODGLG), noting the lag of experimental investigations
behind theoretics.]. developments and behind the demands of practice, recommended that
the lnstituto of Mechanics Academy Sciences USSR, Bet up more extensive experi-
mental investigations without duplicating the work of branch institutes, in as much
these latter oxdinarily are occupied with solving such problems as are not connected
the verification of theoretics]. data. xn the opinion of x. V. Fedorov, the Academy
of Sciences USSR should create a special orgranization which would coordinate scientific
research work in the field of ground mechanics and foundations when conducted by
various institutions ~ ~ . .
~
Candidate of Technical Sciences H. N. Po ov and President of ~h ~r~
M. M. Sokol~skiy, r�commended that .measures be taken for expanding computational
work connected with t~,e practical application of results of theoretical invost3.gaw
` tinns conducted in the Institute of Mechanics Academy Sciences USSR.
