The two most common laboratory test methods used for measuring the undisturbed or original shear strength of marine sediments are the vane shear test and the unconfined compression test. The application of the load in the unconfined compression test is accomplished either in a strain-controlled or a stress-controlled manner. An unconfined compression testing machine was constructed to allow application of the load by either the strain-controlled or stress-controlled method, and it was specifically designed to accurately test marine sediments having relatively low values of shear strength. A unique feature of the apparatus is that it provides a continuous plot of displacement versus load throughout the test procedure. Tests for shear strength in the two load application modes were conducted on gravity cores taken on the continental slope between San Francisco and Monterey. Results of the tests compared favorable with each other, as well as with values secured from vane shear testing. The tests suggest that these particular sediments have friction angles approximating 30 degrees. (Author).

As part of its continuing program to stimulate superior basic research in the marine environment, the Office of Naval Research, Ocean Science and Technology Division, sponsored a series of closed seminar-workshops in 1972-1973. Each seminar focused upon one re search area of marine geology which is relatively new and in need of a critical evaluation and accelerated support. The subjects areas chosen for the seminars were: 1. natural gases in marine sediments and their mode of distribution, 2. nephelometry and the optical properties of ocean waters, 3. physical and engineering properties of deep-sea sediments, and 4. physics of sound in marine sediments. The objectives of each seminar-workshop were to bring into sharper focus the state-of-the-science within each subject area, to effect some degree of coordination among the investigators working within each of these areas and to provide the Ocean Science and Technology Division guidance for national program support. This volume.contains most of the papers presented at the semi nar on the physical and engineering properties of deep-sea sediments. The seminar was held at Airlie House, Airlie, Virginia on April 24- 27, 1973 and was organized and chaired by A. Inderbitzen. The at tendees were invited from among the leading investigators in this field from both the engineering and scientific disciplines. Each attendee was requested to prepare a paper within his area of spe ciality.
