Shock and release wave experiments have been performed on a water- saturated grout using a two-stage light-gas launcher and laser velocity interferometry. In this work maximum Hugoniot pressures approaching 70 GPa were achieved. A novel experimental method, in which the sample being tested is mounted in the launcher projectile, was developed during the study which provided both good quality Hugoniot data and release data on thin specimens of the material. Analysis methods were developed to determine pressure-volume unloading paths from the release wave data. The data are considered in terms of nonhydrodynamic and/or nonequilibrium thermodynamic behavior within the shock compression process. 5 refs., 6 figs.
