Characterization of Rocks and Grouts to Support DNA's Verification Program
Abstract
The mechanical and physical properties of various geologic materials and man-made grouts have been determined. The testing was in support of the Defense Nuclear Agency's (DNA) Treaty Verification program. Specifically, test data was generated for use with DNA's HYDROPLUS program. The tests performed included unconfined compression tests, uniaxial strain tests, physical properties, ultrasonic velocities, XRD mineralogy, and lithologic descriptions. In some instances, gas gun samples were prepared and shipped to DNA's gas gun experimentalists.
