FREE-FIELD GROUND MOTION PRODUCED BY EXPLOSIONS
The reactions of rocks and soils to large explosions are discussed. Several experimerts planned to measure ground motion produced by chemical and nuclear explosions in sotl and in rock are described. The discussions are confined chiefly to those portions of the force field, which are most likely to be of concern to shelter design and construction. Both underground and low- altitude above-surface explosions were considered. (M.G.C.)
