The purpose of the Quarterly Geotechnical Field Data Reports is to meet the US Department of Energy intent to provide geotechnical and related information from WIPP underground activities to interested persons or groups in a timely manner. This Quarterly Geotechnical Field Data Report (GFDR) presents information obtained from the geotechnical studies at the WIPP site underground facilities from January 1 through March 31, 1985, as well as all previous data collected from the geomechanical intruments. During this period, the geotechnical activities at the site included geologic mapping in Room G and Room H, completion of ten additional core holes, maintaining and repairing instruments, and monitoring previously installed geomechanical instruments 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 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.
