Project Pre-Gondola I: Cratering Site Calibration Series. Close-In Ground Motion, Earth Stress, and Pore Pressure Measurements,
Abstract
The objectives of this project were to measure and analyze the particle velocities, soil stresses, and pore water pressures produced by detonation of 20 tons of nitromethane in saturated clay-shale. The ground range of primary interest was 85 to 375 feet from surface ground zero with most instruments placed at shot depth (46.3 feet). (Author)
