Investigation of Foundations for Launch Facilities for Space Vehicles, Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Abstract

Field investigations were conducted at Cape Canaveral, Florida, to determine the elastic and attenuation (damping) characteristics of materials underlying proposed sites for space-vehicle launch structures. Seismic and vibration tests and attenuation studies were conducted at three sites. The test data provide information that will be most useful in preliminary design procedures for launch-structure foundations.
