understood, a program, similar to the above, for investigating long-term 

 repeated loading should be executed. 



6. The problem of penetration prediction also deserves additional 

 research along similar lines. Much of this is already underway at NCEL. 



7. The reduction in holding capacity during earthquakes could be 

 severe for anchors embedded in silts; research is needed to calculate 

 the magnitude of the problem.
