Design, Testing, and Field Pumping of Grout Mixtures
Project SMALL BOY involved the detonation of a low-yield nuclear device in Area 5 of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada Test Site. In connection with this project, the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station was responsible for (a) design of a grout mixture with specified physical properties matching as nearly as possible those of the silt formation at the test site, (b) grouting of instrument holes and surface pressure-gage mounts, and (c) determining from specimens of the field-mixed grout its physical properties at shot time. Results of physical tests on the field-mixed grout specimens indicate that the maximum static tangent modulus of elasticity in compression was somewhat higher than desired; however, the density and ultrasonic pulse velocity of the grout satisfactorily matched that of the in-situ silt and fulfilled the job specifications.
