Mechanical Properties of Nevada Test Site Tuffs from Selected Exploratory Drill Holes.
Abstract
Cores taken from selected exploratory holes at the Nevada Test Site were tested to determine the suitability of the location for a nuclear experiment. Tuff specimens were loaded/unloaded hydrostatically to four kilobars pressure. Additionally, both constant confining pressure and uniaxial strain tests were conducted. This report consolidates all the data previously reported separately for the different sites. (Modified author abstract)
