Explosive Excavation Development for Construction and Combat Applications,

Abstract

Since 1969, research has been directed toward the development of both chemical and nuclear explosive excavation design techniques and engineering procedures which can be used on a wider range of civil engineering excavation projects. Flexibility and adaptability in design procedures, engineering practicability, and cost competitiveness with conventional excavation methods are the guidelines for the current research effort.
