Dynamic Foundation Investigations TAA-2A Radar Site Cape Kennedy, Florida,
Abstract
The results of vibratory tests performed at the proposed site of the TAA-2A radar facility at Cape Kennedy, Florida, indicate that shear modulus values increased from about 2700 psi near the surface to about 11,000 psi at a depth of 18 ft. Compression moduli ranged from 7500 to 28,000 psi at corresponding depths. Poisson's ratio for the upper 6 ft of soil material was about 0.40, and below 6 ft, about 0.48. Conventional and dynamic laboratory tests were also performed on soil samples obtained at the test site. These tests supplemented the in situ investigation and yielded results consistent with those of the field tests. (Author)
