Geotechnical field data and analysis report, July 1990--June 1991. Volume 2

Technical Report · Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 EST 1992

OSTI ID:10134509

The Geotechnical Field Data and Analysis Report presents the data for the assessment of the geotechnical status of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). During the period of shaft sinking and construction of the principal underground access and experimental areas, reporting was on a quarterly basis. Since 1987, reporting has been carried out annually because excavation of the waste storage panels is taking place more slowly and over an extended period. This report presents the data collected up to June 30, 1991. This report focuses on the presentation of geotechnical data from the various underground facilities including the shafts stations, access drifts, test rooms, and waste storage areas. It also describes the techniques used to acquire the data and the performance history of the instruments.
