Title: Conceptual design of field experiments for welded-tuff rock-mechanics program

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:59474

This report furnishes objectives, typical descriptions, and modeling requirements for the conceptual designs of five experiments proposed for testing in welded tuff in G-Tunnel at Nevada Test Site. Two experiments, the Small-Diameter Heater and Unit-Cell Canister Scale, will be designed for model evaluation. Three experiments designed to measure in situ geotechnical properties are planned: the Heated Block, Rocha Slot, and Thermal Probe.
