Users Manual for Nevada Test Site Database (NTS-DB) Software
Abstract
The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station was actively involved in the development, testing, and fielding of a wide variety of grout and concrete mixtures in support of underground nuclear test programs at the Nevada Test Site. Detailed information on mixture designs, laboratory data such as unconfined compressive strength, sonic velocity, density, and modulus, and similar results for actual as-placed mixtures have been archived in a computerized database. There are 264 mixture designs included in the database that were fielded at 2,132 locations on 48 underground nuclear tests between February, 1970, and September, 1992. There are over 67,000 data entries in the database. The software, entitled NTS-DB, used to query this database is a user- friendly Windows-format code that provides almost unlimited flexibility in specifying a query criterion. Also provided with the NTS-DB software and database is the Windows Help-like Grout Users Manual. The manual provides guidance to those who are not knowledgeable in the area of grout mixture proportioning, materials, mixing, and placing.
