HUSSAR SWORD Series. MIGHTY EPIC EVENT, Consolidated MIGHTY EPIC Compression Test Data for Structures and Interface Experiments.

Abstract

This report consolidates the compression test data and the physical properties data for the various structures, grouts and cores used in the MIGHTY EPIC underground nuclear test. The purpose of this report is to provide data for use in interpreting damage to the MIGHTY EPIC test structures before and after the reloading of the structures in the DIABLO HAWK nuclear event. This report contains the results obtained for total load and compressive strength tests on the various structures and surrounding grout mixtures. In addition, it contains descriptions of the material properties of the N Tunnel complex at the Nevada Test Site.
