Project R. D. BAILEY Experimental Excavation Program.
Abstract
This technical report presents the results of the R. D. BAILEY Lake Project experimental excavation program. The experimental program was conducted at the site for the spillway of the R. D. BAILEY Lake Project, near Justice, West Virginia, from February to August 1973. The primary objective of the experimental excavation program was to investigate the feasibility of using bulk explosives in blastholes larger than normally used in structural excavations, in conjunction with controlled blasting techniques, to reduce the cost of drilling and blasting. Other objectives were to obtain basic scientific data on blasting techniques and effects, and to provide the Huntington District and prospective bidders information on appropriate excavation techniques for the spillway at R. D. BAILEY Lake.
