Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) Seismic Coupling Conference Held at Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA) Headquarters, August 18-19, 1970

Abstract

The conference and a prior one in June 1970 were held to foster communication among the diverse disciplines required to predict the shock effects from nuclear explosions out to teleseismic distances. These disciplines involve the use of rock mechanics, geology, nuclear physics, computer hardware and codes, seismology, and field instrumentation. Results from the conferences included (a) improvement in the communication links between the engineers and scientists engaged in research relevant to the seismic coupling problems, and (b) identification of open circuits at some points along the communication lines. The report presents the August 1970 conference proceedings and a summary paper on the results of both conferences.
