Earthquake Resistance of Earth and Rock-Fill Dams. Report 3. Feasibility of Simulating Earthquake Effects on Earth and Rock-Fill Dams Using Underground Nuclear Events
Little information and experience are available regarding the earthquake resistance of earth and rock-fill dams, and the probability of collecting much data from strong-motion seismic instrumentation at existing dams within a few years is low. Because of the need to develop additional earthquake design criteria, the Advisory Board for Soil Mechanics of the Office, Chief of Engineers, suggested the possibility of subjecting a test embankment to ground motions produced by underground nuclear explosions. The Board suggested that the Waterways Experiment Station investigate the feasibility of such a test on a 50-ft-high, 300- to 400-ft-long embankment. This report is a preliminary study of some of the important aspects of the suggested experiment. (Author)
