Abstract

This submission contains a report and associated data from triaxial direct shear tests conducted by Los Alamos National Laboratory. The samples used were sourced from 16A(78)-32 well core. The primary objectives of this test were to determine the shear strength in both intact and residual states, evaluate dilation against displacement, assess permeability in relation to displacement, time, and normal stress, understand the relationship between aperture and normal stress, and monitor the effluent chemistry as a function of time.

Utah FORGE: Triaxial Direct Shear Results - February 2025

Dataset Frash, Luke ; K C, Bijay ; Iyare, Uwaila ; ...

This dataset contains results from nine triaxial direct shear tests conducted by Los Alamos National Laboratory on samples from FORGE Well 16A(78)-32. The primary objectives of this work were to determine the shear strength in both intact and residual states, evaluate dilation against displacement, assess permeability in relation to displacement, time, and normal stress, understand the relationship between aperture and normal stress, and monitor the effluent chemistry as a function of time. The data includes time-series measurements of stress, displacement, permeability, and effluent chemistry, with and without experimental dilution corrections. Additional materials include profilometry data, photographic documentation of the experimentalmore »« less
Utah FORGE: Results of Direct Shear Tests on Saturated Joints in Sierra White Granite

Dataset Han, Kyungsoo ; Pyrak-Nolte, Laura ; Bobet, Antonio

This dataset includes an Excel file with the results of direct shear tests to investigate the mechanical and geophysical response of saturated joints. Tests were conducted on induced tension-fractured Sierra White granite joints in a custom water pressurized chamber. The preparation of granite joints is summarized in the PDF file. The PDF file also includes a description of the direct shear tests, experimental procedure, and results.
Utah FORGE: Direct Shear Test Data for Investigating Seismic Precursors to Shear Failure of Fractures

Dataset Han, Kyungsoo ; Pyrak-Nolte, Laura ; Bobet, Antonio

This dataset includes results of direct shear tests to investigate the mechanical and geophysical response of dry and saturated fractures in Indiana limestone and Sierra White granite. Direct shear tests were performed on tensile-induced fractures in Indiana limestone and Sierra White granite in a custom water-pressurized chamber. The provided Excel files include the representative seismic wave signals and the normalized wave amplitudes of ultrasonic wave transducers. A link to the published journal article presenting the data and describing the experiment in detail is provided as well.
Utah FORGE: Milford Triaxial Test Data and Summary from EGI labs

Dataset Moore, Joe

Six samples were evaluated in unconfined and triaxial compression, their data are included in separate excel spreadsheets, and summarized in the word document. Three samples were plugged along the axis of the core (presumed to be nominally vertical) and three samples were plugged perpendicular to the axis of the core. A designation of "V"indicates vertical or the long axis of the plugged sample is aligned with the axis of the core. Similarly, "H" indicates a sample that is nominally horizontal and cut orthogonal to the axis of the core. Stress-strain curves were made before and after the testing, and aremore »« less
Utah FORGE: Phase 3 InSAR Study Results

Dataset Feigl, Kurt

Ground movement is evaluated through analysis of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) interferograms. Results indicate there has been no detectable ground movement at millimeter scale. The zipped file in this submission contains a report, maps, and results from the InSAR Phase 3 study done to determine ground crustal deformation, if any, in the Utah FORGE area. The data used to facilitate this study included synthetic aperture radar data acquired by the TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellite missions operated by the German Space Agency (DLR). It is accompanied by a README.txt file which further describes each included dataset.
