Analysis of the elastic and strength properties of Yucca Mountain tuff, Nevada
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:59570
A large data base from more than 100 experiments on drillhole core samples of Yucca Mountain silicic tuff has been assembled. These data have been analyzed and empirical expressions were found which relate elastic properties and strength with porosity plus clay content. These relationships are presented here, in addition to an application of simple elastic composite theory to explain the observed variation of bulk modulus with functional porosity. 4 figs.
