Seismic-wave Propagation from Salt-dome Environments
Author: University of Michigan. Institute of Science and Technology
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Salt domes
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
Buried explosions in salt domes generate seismic waves and fracture the medium in the region around the detonation. Results indicate that the mechanics and dynamics of fracturing are not quantitatively well known in detail. Seismic waves can be used to delineate the structural configuration of a salt dome. A continuous velocity log shows that the velocity in the salt is constant, while the velocity in the surrounding sediments varies with depth. It is suggested that the connection of salt domes with a single mother salt bed at depth may be tested by using the velocity contrast between the salt and sediments. Significant decoupling effects, obtained by detonating a chemical explosive in an underground spherical cavity, are examined. It is concluded that proper equations of motions are already known, and theoretical computed waveforms are in very good agreement with experimental results. The decoupling factor is a function of frequency. Information obtained from the chemical explosion indicates that similar favorable results seem possible for nuclear explosions. (Author).

Book Description
The report is carried out by the Institute for Dynamics of the Geospheres, Russian Academy of Sciences under contract NB280344 with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, University of California. The work includes investigation of seismic waves generation and propagation from Soviet peaceful underground nuclear explosions in salt based on the data from temporary and permanent seismic stations. The explosions were conducted at the sites Azgir and Vega within the territory of the Caspian depression of the Russian platform. The data used were obtained in the following conditions of conduction: epicentral distance range from 0 to 60 degrees, yields from 1 to 65 kt and depths of burial from 160 to 1500 m.

ISBN:
Category : Cratering
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Project DANNYBOY was a 430 ton nuclear cratering explosion in basalt. The Coast and Geodetic Survey measured surface earth motions in terms of displacement, velocity and acceleration at 12 locations from 760 meters to 340 kilometers from surface zero. Multiple regression of maximum earth particle displacements and accelerations from DANNYBOY and four other cratering explosions are given. (Author).
