CORRELATION OF OPERATION SNOWBALL GROUND MOTIONS WITH DYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF TEST SITE SOILS

Abstract

In this paper the dynamic properties of the soil profile near the location of the Snowball detonation (Suffield Experimental Station, Watching Hill Site, Alberta, Canada) are given which pertain to the prediction of the airblast-induced ground motions in the superseismic region. Predictions based upon the available dynamic properties are given and compared with the ground motions measured by the Waterways Experiment Station.
