Structural Response and Permanent Displacement Measurements
Description:
Measurements and visual observations made during the Hardtack II series of underground shots provide basis for conclusions regarding shock-resistant design of protection for cavities in rock and qualitative prediction of permanent displacements in rock due to nuclear detonations. Vibration measurements on blast-resistant construction in soil provided non-nuclear test results which apply to shock resistant design. With varying soil cover, the compressive mode predominated in arch structures and …
