Quarterly Geotechnical Field Data Report

Technical Report · Tue May 01 04:00:00 EDT 1984

OSTI ID:6416050

The Quarterly Geotechnical Field Data Report (GFDR) presents information obtained from the geotechnical studies at the WIPP site underground facilities from December 16, 1983, through March 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, core drilling in the access drifts to the experimental area, installing new instruments in drifts in the north and monitoring currently installed geomechanical instruments in the exploratory shaft and the underground drifts. The data presented in this GFDR reflect the update of continuing measurements and monitoring. Also presented in this report are preliminary data analyses and interpretations. These data analyses, which are ongoing, will continue to be reported in future quarterly reports. The GFDR is organized into two parts. The first, Geotechnical Field Data, contains all the data collected since April 1982 from the geomechanical instrumentation which have been installed in the exploratory shaft and underground drifts at the WIPP site. The second par, Evaluation and Analysis, presents preliminary data interpretation and analyses. In the analysis section, a preliminary computational analysis of a different selected location in the WIPP underground will be presented in each GFDR. For this report, a preliminary analysis of a cross section midpoint in Test Room 2 is presented.
