Summary report of strong-motion measurements, underground nuclear detonations

Adams, W.M. / Preston, R.G. / Flanders, P.L. / Sachs, D.C. / Perret, W.R.

Subsurface and surface motion measurements were made on 6 underground nuclear detonations in tuff at Nevada Test Site; free-field peak radial acceleration decreased as inverse third or fourth power of slant range; particle velocities attenuated at rate between inverse square and inverse cube; maximum radial and tangential subsurface stress varied as inverse cube of radial range.
