1983 Subseabed Disposal Program: geotechnical laboratory and modeling studies. Annual report, October 1982-September 1983

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5586218
This document describes the laboratory and modeling efforts necessary to characterize marine sediment responses to the combined thermal and mechanical loading histories of interest to the Subseabed Disposal Program (SDP). Laboratory efforts are related to three areas in the SDP: (1) site studies, (2) data acquisition to support model development, and (3) assessment of model validity. Modeling efforts focus on the sediment responses associated with emplacement activities and the long-term interactions between the sediment and a waste canister. The appendices of the document present detailed results obtained by SDP Principal Investigators involved in geotechnical studies during fiscal year 1983. 3 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs.
