Uniaxial compression test series on Topopah Spring tuff from USW GU-3, Yucca Mountain, Southern Nevada
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:59522
Thirty-five uniaxial compression experiments were performed on cylindrical samples of the Topopah Spring Member of the Paintbrush Tuff obtained from drillhole USW GU-3 at Yucca Mountain, southern Nevada. Twenty samples were nominally 25.4 mm in diameter, 50.8 mm in length and 100 percent water saturated. Fourteen samples were 57.2 mm in diameter, 114.3 mm in length, and partially water saturated. All samples were deformed in compression at atmospheric confining pressure, room temperature, and a nominal strain rate of 10{sup -5} s{sup -1}. 11 references, 5 figures, 10 tables.
