SURFACE BURST OF 100 TON TNT HEMISPHERICAL CHARGE GROUND DISPLACEMENT. Suffield Technical Report No. 250
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4804739
Deformations observed near surface burst charges of TNT are described. The measurements of permanent and transient ground displacements in the immediate vicinity of the charge are given. These include the crater dimensions, the permanent displacement of the surface surrounding the crater and the transient displacement of the ground for a period of approximately one week after the detonation. In addition, an analysis is made of all the cratering data obtained to date at SES. It is shown that there is a significant departure of the crater diameter and depth from cube scaling, but it is suggested that the crater volume in SES soil may vary directly as the charge mass.
