This book was released on 1965 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of various previously reported investigations of the Danny Boy event are utilized to compute and compare the volumes of ejected material and volumes attributable to other crater-formation mechanisms. Imbalance of the volumetric contributions is attributed primarily to the uncertainty of the ejecta density in the lip region. Approximately 65 percent of the rock material dissociated by the explosion was permanently ejected from the crater; less than 2 percent of the ejected material was deposited beyond 3 crater radii from ground zero. Comparisons are made with high-explosive and nuclear detonations in desert alluvium. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analogies between nuclear and conventional excavations are developed from a tabulation of data from 153 mine, quarry, roadway, and dam excavations. The following factors were used as the basis for tabulation of conventional excavation data: purpose, location, precipitation, temperature, ground water level, lithology, mass strength, structural pattern, slope plan, slope profile, depth of excavation, slope height, average inclination, and stability. It was found that average slope inclination tends to be greatest for hard material and for material lacking a well-developed structure, and that inclination tends to de- crease with increasing slope height for excavated slopes reported to be stable. The authors conclude that good analogies are to be found in shape, slope height, depth of excavation, and slope inclination. Loadings of waste material at the rim of some open pit mines may be analogous to ejecta on the lips of nuclear craters. Rubble zones found in some open pit mines may be analogous to the fallback zones of nuclear craters. Differences between preshot and postshot characteristics of cratered media must be appreciated in evaluating analogies between features of conventional excavations and preshot features of nuclear excavation sites. Brief descriptions of 21 selected excavations are presented in Appendix A. The results of this study serve as an aid to judgment of nuclear crater slope stability. Potential subjects for further study are identified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A knowledge of permeability is required to accurately assess and/or predict seepage conditions within a rock mass. This report reviews techniques available for measuring rock mass permeability and provides guidance concerning their application and interpretation. In seepage analyses, the rock mass is commonly modeled as an equivalent porous continuum (i.e. the continuum approach) with seepage governed by the familiar Darcy's law, a linear relationship between flow velocity and hydraulic gradient.
