Ground Motion

Abstract

This report presents the data concerning the surface motion as a function of time for the Palanquin nuclear cratering event. A description of the experimentation and the general surface motion is given. The data for the surface motion time history are obtained from reading and analyzing, by means of digital computer, the film from high-speed photography of surface motion. Graphs of the vertical and horizontal displacement and vertical velocity of individual surface motion targets vs time are presented.
