Title: AX Tank farm closure settlement estimates and soil testing

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/781599· OSTI ID:781599

This study provides a conservative three-dimensional settlement study of the AX Tank Farm closure with fill materials and a surface barrier. The finite element settlement model constructed included the interaction of four tanks and the surface barrier with the site soil and bedrock. Also addressed are current soil testing techniques suitable for the site soil with recommendations applicable to the AX Tank Farm and the planned cone penetration testing.
