Development of Gage Canister Recovery Technique.

Abstract

Because of the high cost of ground motion transducers used in high explosive simulation testing, a program was initiated to determine the feasibility and cost effectiveness of recovery techniques to retrieve and reuse the transducers. IN-house research produced two approaches for recovery: (1) using a backhoe; and (2) overcoring with a drill rig. After a number of attempts using both methods, it was determined that the overcoring recovery technique was a failure because of differential displacement of the grout column during the explosive test.
