1982 Subseabed Disposal Program: geotechnical laboratory and modeling studies. Annual report, October 1981-September 1982

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6890345

This document describes the laboratory and modeling efforts being undertaken necessary to characterize marine sediment responses to combined thermal and mechanical loading of interest to the Subseabed Disposal Program (SDP). Laboratory efforts include those related to site studies as well as those associated with acquiring data for the models and providing an assessment of the validity of the modeling efforts. Numerical models being developed in this area of the SDP focus on the sediment responses associated with emplacement activities and the long-term interactions between the sediment and an emplaced waste canister. The appendices of the document present detailed results obtained by SDP Principal Investigators involved in geotechnical studies during fiscal year 1982.
