OSTI ID:6355231

The Quarterly Geotechnical Field Data Report (GFDR) presents information obtained from the geotechnical studies at the WIPP site underground facilities from June 16 through September 15, 1984, as well as all previous data collected from the geomechanical instruments. During this period, the geotechnical activities at the site included geologic mapping in the waste shaft and sump, installation of extensometers and piezometers in the waste shaft, core drilling and geologic mapping of drifts, installing new instruments in drifts, and monitoring previously installed geomechanical intruments in shafts, underground drifts, and test rooms. The data presented in this GFDR reflect the update of continuing measurements and monitoring. Also continuing and included in this report are preliminary geotechnical and structural analyses and interpretations of the data. The Department of Energy (DOE) intends to provide the geotechnical and related information generated from WIPP underground activities to interested persons or groups in a timely manner. The GFDR is organized into two principal parts. The first part, Geotechnical Field Data, presents in graphical form all the data collected since April 1982 from the geomechanical instruments. Presented in the second part, Evaluation and Analyses, are preliminary interpretations and analyses of the data.
