This book was released on 1973 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Diamond Ore Phase 2A consisted of the detonation of three 10-ton charges of aluminized ammonium nitrate slurry at different depths of burst (DOB) and stemming conditions near Fort Peck, Montana, in October 1972. The purpose of the investigation described herein was to determine the effectiveness of the three craters as barriers to the performance of an M48A2 tank. The unstemmed charge at optimum DOB that formed crater 2A-1 created a marginal condition of 'go-no go' for the tank. The stemmed charge at optimum DOB that formed crater 2A-2 and the stemmed charge at approximately one-half optimum DOB that formed crater 2A-3 created definite barriers to the tank. There were indications that a more effective barrier for the tank was produced by the stemmed charge at approximately one-half optimum DOB than by the stemmed charge at optimum DOB. The time required for a D-9 tractor to make crater 2A-3 passable for the M48A2 tank was 1 hour.

This book was released on 1973 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Event Mixed Company III, a 500-ton TNT surface charge, was detonated on 13 November 1972 at Grand Junction, Colorado, near Glade Park. Project LN305, 'Effectiveness of Craters as Barriers to Mobility, ' was included in the program of projects sponsored by the United States pertaining to the event. The objective of Project LN305 was to determine: (1) the degree to which a crater and its associated ejecta field constitute a physical barrier to the movement of military vehicles, and (2) if the crater was impassable, the amount of engineering effort required to construct a passable route for the vehicles under consideration. Five terrain units (including the original surface) in the crater area were delineated as significant to ground mobility and were described in terms of soil strength, soil moisture content, surface configuration, and ejecta depth. Go-no go mobility tests were conducted with two tracked vehicles (an M113A1 armored personnel carrier and an M60A1 tank) and one wheeled vehicle (an M561 1-1/4-ton cargo carrier). The vehicles were operated easily in all the terrain units except terrain unit 4, the crater wall. The crater wall of test lane B was impassable for all the vehicles until the steep slope (66%) was graded to a 47% slope. The grading required 12 minutes with a TD 20 bulldozer. All vehicles experienced approximately the same degree of difficulty negotiating the crater walls. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You can't really know the place where you live until you know the shapes and origins of the land around you. To feel truly at home in the Bay Area, read Doris Sloan's intriguing stories of this region's spectacular, quirky landscapes."—Hal Gilliam, author of Weather of the San Francisco Bay Region "This is a fascinating look at some of the world's most complex and engaging geology. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in an understanding of the beautiful landscape and dynamic geology of the Bay Area."—Mel Erskine, geological consultant "This accessible summary of San Francisco Bay Area geology is particularly timely. We are living in an age where we must deal with our impact on our environment and the impact of the environment on us. Earthquake hazards, and to a lesser extent landslide hazards, are well known, but the public also needs to be aware of other important engineering and environmental impacts and geologic resources. This book will allow Bay Area residents to make more intelligent decisions about the geological issues affecting their lives."—John Wakabayashi, geological consultant
