Quarterly Geotechnical Field Data Report

Technical Report · Fri Jul 01 04:00:00 EDT 1983

OSTI ID:6409220

The Quarterly Geotechnical Field Data Report (GFDR) presents all the information obtained from the geotechnical studies at the WIPP site from March through July 1983 as well as previous data collected from the geomechanical instruments. This is the first quarterly GFDR to be issued by the WIPP Project, and data collected over the last four months are contained in this report; hereafter these reports will consist of data acquired during three-month periods. The data presented in the GFDR reflect continuing studies, and new data will be included in future quarterly reports as it becomes available. Data evaluation and analysis is in progress and will be reported whenever results and conclusions are finalized. It is the intent of the DOE to provide all information generated from WIPP activities to interested persons or groups in a timely manner. The Quarterly GFDR is organized into three independent parts. Part I contains all the data collected since April 1982 from the geomechanical instrumentation which has been installed in the exploratory shaft and underground drifts at the WIPP site. Part II presents the underground mapping logs from the 0 East Drift (north of Station N400), the North 1420 Drift, and portions (instrument areas) of test rooms 1 through 4. Part III of the GFDR presents the logs and correlations of 16 vertical coreholes in that section of the WIPP underground excavations north of the North 460 Crosscut, and one additional drilled at the intersection of the South 400 Crosscut and East 140 Drift.
