Analysis of ground motion data and prediction techniques from the pre-DICE THROW II events. Final report Jan 76--Mar 77

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6801891
Twenty-five experimenters and support agencies participated in the pre-DICE THROW II program. This program consisted of two HE events, one using a 100-ton surface-tangent sphere of TNT and the other a 120-ton surface-tangent domed cylinder of bagged ANFO. The purpose of this report is to compare certain aspects of the ground-motion data with the predictions made of these aspects before the tests. Four agencies were charged with providing predictions: Air Force Weapons Laboratory; Waterways Experiment Station R and D Associates and Field Command, DNA. This report consists of seven chapters, which include: A brief description of the initiation of ground motion under a high-explosive detonation ground-motion transducers, canisters, grout and prediction methods; summaries of the data from Events 1 and 2 and comparisons of these with the predictions; analysis and authors' conclusions.
