Characterization of rock-glass formed by the LASL subterrene in bandelier tuff
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5801532
Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) is currently developing a consolidating subterrene penetrator. One suggested use for such a system is to form tunnels, viaducts, etc. in porous rock. As the hole is being formed in porous rock, the rock melt is packed into a glass lining, forming a strong, relatively impermeable boundary layer. The object of this study is to characterize the lining material formed in Bandelier tuff and compare its properties to those of the parent material. With knowledge of the material properties, the engineering potential can be evaluated.
