COMPUTATION OF UNDERGROUND STRUCTURAL RESPONSE. Final Report of a Research Program
Means of obtaining a better understanding of the phenomenological aspects of wave propagation in solid media were sought. Such information is of immediate importance in the study of earth motions resulting from blast loadings and in the design of underground structures to resist blast pressures. The research work was carried out in three separate study areas as follows: (1) A theoretical study of wave propagation in continuous solid media, involving rigorous mathematical formulations of wave motions and shock phenomena in solids. (2) Development of mathematically consistent discrete models of solid continua for the high-speed numerical computation of wave motions in solid media and for evaluating structure-soil interactions. (3) Studies of structure-soil interactions by simple analytical and experimental models. Only the effect of arching was considered. (auth)
