Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1962 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been working with the Atomic Energy Commission on a joint program to develop nuclear explosive excavation technology. Until recently the Corps of Engineers portion of this program was the chemical explosive modeling of planned nuclear excavation tests, participation in the nuclear cratering experiments, and development of project designs and engineering and construction data. It became obvious during the conduct of this program that chemical explosive excavation with large charges has many advantages and that the development of chemical explosive excavation as an accepted cost-competitive construction technique will facilitate the acceptance of nuclear explosive excavation for larger projects. Therefore, the emphasis of the program of the Corps for the past three years has been on the use of chemical explosive excavation for Civil Works applications. The technique has been demonstrated on a water conveyance channel in clay shale, a harbor in coral overlain with water, three railroad cuts in a sandstone and shale medium, breaching of a sandbar, and a sidehill road cut excavation.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has recently been conducted on the use of large buried chemical explosive charges for engineering excavation. Investigations in this area were initially concerned with crater formation in relatively homogeneous rock media, a process which is now well understood. However, it has become apparent that the greatest cost and operational advantages may be realized by applying the technique to rock excavation in an underwater environment. Cratering dynamics in an underwater (two-layer) configuration have not been well understood. Small-scale modeling tests and large-scale excavation projects have revealed two new factors which significantly influence underwater cratering processes: (1) early-time dynamic effects caused by the presence of the rock-water interface and water layer; and (2) very late-time water washback and slope failure effects in the crater vicinity. The report addresses the first of these two effects by means of hydrodynamic computer calculations.
