FIELD FORTIFICATIONS

Abstract

Project 3.9 had four objectives, each directed toward filling a particular gap in the knowledge of atomic effects on and in field fortifications. Because each objective necessitated an independent experimental set-up and essentially constituted a test within itself, the report is presented in four parts: (1) General Effects on Field Fortifications; (2) Pressure Measurements in Field Fortifications; (3) Reflected Thermal Radiation in Foxholes; (4) Gamma Radiation in Foxholes.
