This book was released on 1964 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buried explosions in salt domes generate seismic waves and fracture the medium in the region around the detonation. Results indicate that the mechanics and dynamics of fracturing are not quantitatively well known in detail. Seismic waves can be used to delineate the structural configuration of a salt dome. A continuous velocity log shows that the velocity in the salt is constant, while the velocity in the surrounding sediments varies with depth. It is suggested that the connection of salt domes with a single mother salt bed at depth may be tested by using the velocity contrast between the salt and sediments. Significant decoupling effects, obtained by detonating a chemical explosive in an underground spherical cavity, are examined. It is concluded that proper equations of motions are already known, and theoretical computed waveforms are in very good agreement with experimental results. The decoupling factor is a function of frequency. Information obtained from the chemical explosion indicates that similar favorable results seem possible for nuclear explosions. (Author).
Download or read book Characteristics of Seismic Waves from Soviet Peaceful Nuclear Explosions in Salt written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report is carried out by the Institute for Dynamics of the Geospheres, Russian Academy of Sciences under contract NB280344 with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, University of California. The work includes investigation of seismic waves generation and propagation from Soviet peaceful underground nuclear explosions in salt based on the data from temporary and permanent seismic stations. The explosions were conducted at the sites Azgir and Vega within the territory of the Caspian depression of the Russian platform. The data used were obtained in the following conditions of conduction: epicentral distance range from 0 to 60 degrees, yields from 1 to 65 kt and depths of burial from 160 to 1500 m.
Download or read book Seismic Effects from a Nuclear Cratering Experiment in Basalt written by L. M. Lowrie and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project DANNYBOY was a 430 ton nuclear cratering explosion in basalt. The Coast and Geodetic Survey measured surface earth motions in terms of displacement, velocity and acceleration at 12 locations from 760 meters to 340 kilometers from surface zero. Multiple regression of maximum earth particle displacements and accelerations from DANNYBOY and four other cratering explosions are given. (Author).

Book excerpt: NSA is a comprehensive collection of international nuclear science and technology literature for the period 1948 through 1976, pre-dating the prestigious INIS database, which began in 1970. NSA existed as a printed product (Volumes 1-33) initially, created by DOE's predecessor, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). NSA includes citations to scientific and technical reports from the AEC, the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration and its contractors, plus other agencies and international organizations, universities, and industrial and research organizations. References to books, conference proceedings, papers, patents, dissertations, engineering drawings, and journal articles from worldwide sources are also included. Abstracts and full text are provided if available.
Download or read book Seismic Effects from a High Yield Nuclear Cratering Experiment in Desert Alluvium written by W. V. Mickey and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SEDAN was a thermonuclear cratering experiment with a yield of about 100 kt detonated at a depth of 660 feet and resulting in a crater of maximum apparent depth of 320 feet and average apparent diameter of about 1200 feet. About 7.5 million cubic yards of earth and rock were displaced. Transitory earth particle motions were on an average twice as large from stations on deep alluvial deposits compared to those on shallow deposits at the same distance. Computed seismic energy was about 2.45 x 10 to the 18th power ergs, equivalent to a local earthquake magnitude of 4.75. This indicates that 0.06 percent of the total source energy was converted to seismic energy. Frequency analysis revealed spectral peaks near 1 cps. (Author).
